Minority Status to award 51% of their
seats to the Religious or Linguistic
Minority they cater to

said minority, then balance seats should
be first allotted to other recognised
minorities they cater to and still if seats
remain then to other recognised Minority
they don’t cater to
• If the college is still unable to fill the
seats then it will be transferred to open
category
