The Karnataka Assembly has passed the contested amendment to the NLSIU Bangalore establishing act to create a 25% reservation for students resident in the state.
Journalist Mathang Seshagiri had first tweeted the news late yesterday:
Karnataka Assembly passes NLSIU (Amendment) Bill provisioning 25% reservation for local students (those who have studied in the state for 10 years). Surprising that @JCMBJP & @krishnabgowda did not push for SC/ST reservation at the institute. https://t.co/zS6qoXvGPV

NLSIU sources with knowledge of the bill have confirmed the development to us.
Despite some lobbying by local lawyers for 50% reservation, the state government appears to have eventually stuck to its idea of only reserving 25% for residents from the state.

And get ready to lose your QS ranking and NIRF # 1 slot in the next 5 to 6 years.
Nationalization, yes.
Quote: Since NLSIU calls itself "Harvard of the East" on the basis of Karnataka CM SM Krishna coining the term, can RGNUL "officially" call itself "Yale of the East"?

It is likely that we will receive a degree of increased funding from the state and some additional land parcel. Both things have been in the pipeline for years. The increased funding will likely be used to ramp up the number of undergraduate and eventually postgraduate seats. This is also required to cover up the gaping holes caused by the sins of previous administration. Messiah magnanimously (like the so-called TLC educated VCs) have allowed the crooks to slip away or continue unpunished.
Once the student intake capacity is hiked and the infrastructure expanded, the quota may get bumped upwards depending on local politics then. The SC/ST thing may come in via an amendment or an EC/GC directive.
Okay back to business as usual.
Do you feel "enlightened" now? I doubt it, especially for someone of your cerebral capacity who thinks he's smart by type-laughing in the comments section to show off their misunderstood sarcasm.
Also note that none of the IIMs, AIIMS etc have been awarded IoE status. But many not so well-known institutions have been given INI status, which is mostly a taxation thing. So, NLS has a better chance of getting INI status at some point given the political alignment between Centre and state.
NLUs better be ready...
Shame on Kian Ganz and other journalist for spreading such CRAP!
