20 percent reservation quota for girls in IITs from 2018

Posted on: 16/Jan/2017 6:03:38 PM
As there is a palpable decrease in the number of girl students joining the best quality technical education institutions for learning Engineering such as the Indian Institutes of Technologies in India, it has been strongly recommended that 20 percent reservation quota must be allotted exclusively for the girl students.

It is gathered that the recommendations forwarded by the review sub-committee headed by Timothy Gonzales regarding the fall in the number of girl students in IITs will be taken up by the Joint Admission Committee.

The admission committee will explore the possibility whether the proposed reservation quota for the girl students in IITs can be implemented from 2018.

It is also informed that this proposed 20 percent quota for the girl students will not affect the number of seats for the boy students.

Meanwhile, it is confirmed that only those students successful in JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) will be considered for admission.
