The Centre has approved 50% reservation for Muslims in Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
Half of the seats in 36 courses including important professional degree programmes like MBBS, MCA, Engineering, LLB and BEd will be reserved for Muslim students. The reservation policy will be implemented from the coming session, AMU vice-chancellor Nafeez Ahmad said.
AMU`s long-standing demanding for a quota for Muslims was approved by the UPA government on May 16. Government has cited section 2(1) of AMU (Amendment) Act, 1981 and the provision of section 5© of the Act that empowers the University “to promote especially the educational and cultural advancement of the Muslims of India“, official sources said.
Ahmad said admissions to a majority of these 36 courses, where the new reservation policy will be applicable, will be through competitive exams.
Till now, AMU had the vice-chancellor`s quota for reservations. This quota included categories for SC/ST, neo-Buddhist and backward classes among Muslims.
