The local quota cut protests by the localites continue in Vadodara after the Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) commerce faculty entrance merit stopped at 75%.

In a protest against the university authorities, over 2,000 students who passed the 12th Class made a human chain outside the commerce faculty of MSU seeking admissions.

The protest was initiated by the All Gujarat Students Union (AGSU) today.

In a recent meeting of the executive council of MSU, a proposal was presented to reduce the quota for local students from 70% to 50%.

In faculties such as Arts, Science, and Commerce, local students earlier enjoyed a 70% quota in admission. 

The decision has sparked uproar among the localites who were seeking admissions under the local quota of MSU.
