Mangalore: The students of Canara PU College and Expert College under the aegis of ABVP staged a protest against the implementation of Karnataka Professional Education Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Determination of Fee) Act, 2006 at PVS Circle on Friday December 20.
Expressing their ire against the Higher education minister R V Deshpande and the state government, the students raised slogans and urged to take back the decision of implementing the Act that will deprive the poor meritorious students of professional education.
The ABVP has said that the merit students and students under reservation will be drastically affected if the Act is implemented as the government quota will then be cancelled in private engineering and medical colleges.
“Around 45 percent of engineering seats, 40 per cent of the medical seats and 35 percent of the dental science seats from the government quota will go to private institutions and Government aided – private institutions will be left with not even a single government seat”, they said.
N Ravikumar, Organising Secretary of ABVP and others were present.
