SC/ST/OBC quotas added to minority colleges on FYJC portal; open seats drop to 12-14%
Tuesday, 3 June 2025 () Maharashtra's government has stirred controversy by introducing SC/ST/OBC quotas in minority institutions through its admissions portal, potentially reserving up to 86% of seats. This move, impacting FYJC aspirants, faces legal challenges as it reduces open seats to a mere 12-14%. While officials claim it aids backward classes without affecting minority quotas, principals fear chaos and higher cut-offs in competitive colleges.
