After the Supreme Courts ruling that the government can neither enforce the policy of reservation nor fix quotas for admissions in private unaided minority and non-minority institutions, the Karnataka government found itself with only 4,000 engineering seats, 450 medical seats and 60 dental seats.
The Union cabinet has however decided to annul the judgement and approved a proposal to amend the Constitution to restore reservation for Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in unaided private professional educational institutions.
The Constitution Amendment Bill 2005 would be introduced in the winter session of Parliament, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi told reporters. The amendment will enable the states to make reservation of seats for socially and educationally backward classes or for SCs and STs in educational institutions including the unaided private professional educational bodies, other than minority institutions, and to regulate their admission and fee.
