What is Minority Status for an Educational Institute and its Advantages?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Article 30(1) of the Constitution of India gives linguistic and religious minorities a fundamental right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. “Minority Educational Institution\u201d means a college or an educational institution established and administered by a minority or minorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minority Schools are excluded from the RTE Act. To refer following schools are exempted<\/strong> i) Schools in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
ii) Madrassas, Vedic Patshalas and educational institutions primarily imparting religious instruction
iii) Unaided minority schools are excluded from the Act, according to the 2012 Supreme Court Judgement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is a MINORITY?<\/strong> – It has been held by the Eleven Judges Bench of the Supreme Court in T.M.A. Pai Foundation vs. State of Karnataka (2002) 8 SCC 481 that a minority, whether linguistic or religious, is determinable only by reference to demography of the State and not by taking into consideration the population of the country as a whole. The two most fundamental requirements that the community<\/span> must show; are;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) that it is a religious\/linguistic minority, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) that the institution was established by it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can start a Minority Educational Institute<\/strong> – A Society or Trust consisting of members of a minority community, or even a single member of a minority community, may establish an institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a certain percentage of the students from the Minority Committee one has to fulfil before qualifying for Minority Status?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An aided minority educational institution, is entitled to have the right of admission of students belonging to the minority group and at the same time, would be required to admit a reasonable extent of non-minority students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would be a reasonable extent for Non-Minority Students,<\/strong> This would vary from the types of institution, the courses of education for which admission is being sought and other factors like educational needs. The State Government concerned has to notify the percentage of the minority students.<\/strong> Section 12C (b) of the Act also empowers the State Government to prescribe percentage governing admissions in a minority educational<\/strong> institution. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So currently I think these are not set in stone and one has to deal with the State Government to deal and finalise this issue that what is the max I can take from both the sides, Minority as well as Non – Minority<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Register<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a Society \/ Trust is formed, post that one has to visit the website of NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR MINORITY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE<\/strong>. You can access the website by clicking here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
