State Advisory Ends Minority Student Harassment
26 Jul
Summary
- Educational institutions must not ask for minority certificates for admission.
- Advisory reiterates previous government notifications from 2013 and 2017.
- The move aims to prevent unnecessary hardship and harassment for students.
In a move to streamline admissions and prevent student harassment, the state minority development department has issued a new advisory. Minority educational institutions across the state are now prohibited from requesting minority certificates from students applying for admission under the minority quota. This directive serves as a reiteration of prior government notifications issued on July 1, 2013, and January 10, 2017.
Despite the earlier notifications, some institutions continued to insist on the submission of minority certificates, causing undue distress to students and their families. The current advisory emphasizes the importance of transparency and aims to alleviate this unnecessary burden. Stakeholders welcome the decision, viewing it as a crucial step towards a more equitable admission process.
