Center-Right Owned by Bennett, Coleman & Co.Centre mulls panel to revisit UGC equity regulations amid Supreme Court case
What's behind this
The Centre told the Supreme Court it may set up a panel to review the University Grants Commission (UGC) equity regulations on campuses. The government said it is examining criticism of the regulations, which had triggered protests by upper‑caste student groups, and the Court had stayed the rules in January, calling them “too vague”. The Supreme Court had stayed the operation of the 2026 UGC regulations on January 29 over ambiguity concerns. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the government aims to address the issues by possibly forming a committee.
