The policy of reservation in admission cannot be made applicable to a minority institution. The policy of reservation in employment cannot be made applicable to a minority institution.
Further, a minority educational institution covered under Article 30(1) of the Constitution is exempted from the purview of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE Act).
