Congress flags missing law on private college quotas, wants regulators to enforce Article 15(5)

Congress has urged the government to ensure any new higher-education regulator actively oversees Article 15(5), the constitutional provision that allows reservations for SC, ST and OBC students even in private institutions. The demand revives a long-running gap: while public universities follow quotas, private higher education largely remains outside enforceable law. The debate now ties social justice to Indias proposed single-regulator reform.
