Facilities to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Universities and Colleges

Abstract

Analysis on the Position and Coverage of SC/ST in Admission and Appointments in Universities and Colleges during 1979-80 published by University Grants Commission. The SCT Unit of the University Grants Commission i(set up in 1979) has been collecting information on course-wise admissions, appointments to teaching and non-teaching Posts, by reservation, in respect of candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. Such information of actual position has been collected from 1977-78 onwards and analysed. The present report which is the third in series, analyses the actual position of admissions/appointments of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates in the year 1979-80. The analysis has been done separately for University teaching departments (including University Colleges), Affiliated Colleges and total viz., UTD/UC+AC. Information on reservation in hostels, utilisation of fellowships and other incentive programmes was also asked for through the SCT schedule but was not received adequately from most of the Universities/Colleges, hence has not been included in the report.
