Constitutionality of Reservation in Admission to Private Colleges

constitutional clat_pg advanced poll_style

Kya meri understanding sahi hai ya galat hai?

I have been studying for CLAT PG and was going through the topic of affirmative action in private universities. Suppose a private university has a certain number of seats reserved for SC/ST students under the Article 15(4) of the Constitution of India.

Option 1: The court can order private universities to implement reservations as per Article 15(4), as the purpose is to advance social equality. Option 2: Private universities cannot be compelled to implement reservations under Article 15(4) as it doesn't apply to them.

Kya sahi hai, Option 1 ya Option 2?

"Arre yaar, Reservation ki controversy kabhi bhi chali rahegi, lekin constitutionality ka sawal bahut jatil hai. Private colleges ko admission mein reservation ki icchha kyu nahi, yeh sawal unke khud ke liye hai. Humko konstitushan mein di gayi samata ki roop se sochta hon, phir bhi private institutions ko iski avashyakta nahi.
