Reservation Quota Committee (RQC)

This committee has been formed to take affirmative action for historically disadvantaged groups so that they can be admitted to this college with ease. Moreover, this committee also aims to improve the social and educational status of underprivileged communities and thus improve their lives. It tries to motivate graduated students from different reserved categories to take admission in this college according to the reserved seats which, in turn, helps in leading the community to the peak of success.

Objectives of Reservation Quota:

1. To rectify past and historical injustice against the backward classes in India.
