"The Ministry of Human Resource Development had decided that two Supernumerary Quota seats will be made available to the students of Jammu and Kashmir who seek admission through centralised counselling in universities/colleges approved under Section 2(l) and 12 B of the UGC Act or recognised by AICTE and have at least one NBA approved course," the letter by UGC secretary Jaspal S Sandhu said.
"I would feel highly obliged, if you kindly ensure that the two supernumerary seats in your esteemed university and colleges affiliated under your esteemed university are created for the students of Jammu & Kashmir," the letter added.
