BJP favours reservation of seats in medical, engineering colleges for backward students
The Political and Business Daily
|May 20, 2025
THE ruling BJP in Odisha on Tuesday said it is in favour of a quota for students of the socially and economically backward class (SEBC) in medical, engineering and other technical institutions in the state, and 11.25 per cent of seats would soon be reserved for them.
The saffron party's statement came a day before the opposition BJD is scheduled to organise a dharna demanding 27 per cent reservation of seats for the SEBC students.
The state government last week announced a reservation of 11.25 per cent in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in general colleges for the SEBC students in the state. However, there was no such provision of quota in the medical, engineering and other technical institutions.
Addressing a press conference here, Odisha BJP president Manmohan Samal said that the party supports reservation of seats for SEBC students in medical and engineering courses.
“We have suggested that the state government make provision of 11.25 per cent reservation for SEBC students in medical, engineering, technical courses and also in school education,” Samal told reporters.
He said that the party has taken up the matter with the state government and it will be implemented soon.
