Karnataka Higher Education Minister writes to NLSIUs to ensure 60 students admitted under domicile quota

Higher Education Minister CN Ashwath Narayan in a fresh letter has asked the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) to ensure 60 students are admitted under the domicile quota, in addition to general merit students from the state.

“There are 240 seats available for the academic year 2023-24, and 60 students should be considered under domicile reservation,” the education minister states. “If this has not been ensured in the provisional selectionlist, it should be rectified immediately. If it cannot be corrected this way, University should prepare a revised selection list considering the supernumerary criteria. ”

It must be noted that this is the second time the minister has written to the law university, raising objections over the procedure followed to implement domicile reservation in the law school. Narayan said "it would violate the law of natural justice if students selected under all India quota are considered under domicile reservation." The letter also pointed out that the government has sanctioned funds to the tune of INR 22 crore to the university this year.
