UGC order against quota for M.Phil, Ph.D. withdrawn

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, APRIL 10. The University Grants Commission has withdrawn with immediate effect its order dated March 15 that removed reservation for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes candidates, in admission to M.Phil and Ph.D courses of universities and colleges.

This has been welcomed by Mr. N. Sukumar, convener, Reservation Protection Forum of University of Hyderabad, who has said that they see this ``rollback as a victory for dalit students.''

It shows that those that try to tamper with the rights of the disadvantaged sections will have to face severe wrath of the people, he has added.
