The Delhi high court upheld three circulars issued by the Delhi government and the university that laid down guidelines for admissions and registration of students, as well as the fee structure.
Private colleges affiliated to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Dwarka cannot charge higher fee from students admitted under (10%) management quota seats, the Delhi high court said on Wednesday17th May 2022, upholding three circulars issued by the state government and the varsity in September last year.
The three circulars laid down guidelines for admissions and registration of students, as well as the fee structure.
Private institutions affiliated to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University challenged the circulars in October 2022, arguing that the state government and the university have no authority to issue these directions, and said that it was a violation of their fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
Dismissing their petitions, justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav said that the regulation of admission in a fair, transparent and non-exploitative manner is at the heart and soul of Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India.
In a 144-page judgment, the court said that private institutions cannot claim that they generate additional revenue from their 10% seats (Management Quota), as the fee structure is common for all students.
It added that there should not be any reason why 10% seats should not be filled up by the most meritorious students.
