# Delhi Cabinet clears private university bill with 25% quota 2026-08-08T03:13:48+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Delhi cabinet on Friday approved a draft Bill to create a legal framework for private universities in the capital. The legislation proposes reserving 25% of seats in every course for Delhi students, with merit-cum-means scholarships: 5% of them will get full fee waiver, 10% a 50% fee concession and 10% a 25% concession. The Bill also permits vertical campuses suitable for a land-constrained city, and allows foreign universities to set up campuses subject to UGC norms. Education minister Ashish Sood said the aim is to reverse the trend of Delhi students leaving the city for higher education. The Bill will be introduced in the assembly next week. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com - ndtv.com Tags: Bill, cabinet approval, Delhi, higher education, private universities, quota Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-govt-proposes-25-quota-for-students-in-private-universities/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
