UGC Regulation On Selection Committee For Appointment Of Assistant Professor Not Applicable To Minority Institutions: Madras High Court

The Madras High Court ruled that UGC regulations concerning the constitution of selection committees are not applicable to minority institutions. The Court held that minority educational institutions are protected under the Constitution and are allowed certain privileges to preserve their identity and functioning, including the freedom to choose their selection processes. This ruling reinforces the special status granted to minority institutions under Indian law, allowing them to function with greater autonomy in matters of governance and administration.
