Giving into the uproar over management quota seats in first year B.Com, the Gujarat University has quashed the order allowing management quota seats.
A high-powered committee for admissions of Gujarat University (GU), has decided to that admission to all seats in the first year B.Com will be done on merit basis. The committee also decided to drop the practice of sending a list of students to any of the commerce colleges. Earlier, it was a practice to send out such a list prepared by student leaders affiliated to BJP and Congress. As a result, the merit system could not be followed religiously.Â
Last week, GU had issued a notification to commerce colleges stating that commerce colleges affiliated to the Gujarat University (GU) will be allowed to have 30 seats as management quota. These can be filled at the discretion of the principals of the colleges without following any merit criteria.
This decision was criticized by many. GU vice-chancellor Parimal Trivedi had said last week that he was against granting management-quota seats to colleges. Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) had also held demonstrations at the varsity campus on June 9 protesting against the notification
GU pro vice-chancellor Mukul Shah said that merit rules were flouted till last year as the university used to send out the list. "We decided to quash the management quota after protests," he said.Â
The distribution of forms for FY BCom will start from June 18 and the merit list will be declared on June 23.Â
