What reservation is available for my ward in state professional education institutions in Agartala?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Professional education reservation is governed by Tripura Rent Control Act 1973 and the state's admission rules applicable in Agartala. The Tripura High Court has held that reservation cannot exceed the ceiling laid down by the Supreme Court except for the EWS component.

Categories like SC, ST, OBC and EWS are entitled to the notified percentage of seats. Horizontal reservation for women and persons with disabilities is adjusted within the vertical quota.

Seats are filled through a centralised counselling based on the qualifying examination rank. Leaving a seat after the cutoff date attracts forfeiture of the fee and a one-year admission bar.

The reservation roster must be published on the institution's notice board.
