Imphal, August 03 2014:
The Manipur University Tribal Association (MUTSU) expressed its support for the communique sent by the Manipur University to the Secretary of the Governor of Manipur regarding the approval and recommendation of the implementation of the Central Educational institutions (Reservation in admission) Amendment Act, 2012 with special reference to clause (ia) section 2 .
Before the conversion of Manipur University to a Central University, the ST enjoyed 34 per cent seat reservations in the University admission as per the State norms.
However, after the University's conversion to a Central University, the ST's reservation came down to 7.5 per cent, a press release stated.
The union requested for genuine commonality and greater cause for minority tribals in the State.
It also urged the MU authorities to implement the recommendation at the earliest.
MUTSU further appealed the authorities to conduct the entrance test as per scheduled.
