In a move to ensure equitable opportunities for students with varied backgrounds, Assam’s CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, announced that the Assam government granted approval on Friday for seat reservations in Government Engineering Colleges’ Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) and Bachelor of Engineering (BE) courses. This applies to students who graduated from state government schools.
During the regular cabinet meeting in Tinsukia district, the cabinet made the decision to approve a 5% seat reservation for students who completed their education from Class 7 to 10 in government schools (under SEBA) and from Class 11 to 12 in government schools/colleges/provincialised colleges (under AHSEC).
