Delhi University's Cluster Innovation Centre (CIC) has decided to remove the reservation for Muslims in the MSc Mathematics Education Programme. This course is offered in collaboration with Jamia Millia Islamia under the Meta University concept.

According to the Indian Express, the matter will be discussed in today's, December 30, CIC Governing Body meeting. In 2013, the Master of Science program in Mathematics Education was launched. Admission to the MSc Mathematics Education Programme is conducted through CUET PG, and there is a seat reservation policy in place. The total number of seats available in the course is 30. Out of these, 12 seats are for the unreserved category, 6 seats are for OBC-NCL, 4 seats are for Muslim general candidates, 3 seats are for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), 2 seats are reserved for SC and ST candidates, and 1 seat each is designated for Muslim OBC and Muslim women candidates.

A senior official from Delhi University stated that religious-based reservations do not match the university's policies. The main idea is that there should be no reservation based on religion for any course at the university. The MSc in Mathematics Education program is part of the Meta University concept. Its main goal is to bring together resources and experts from different institutions to create synergies. The program is managed administratively by the CIC. Even though the program involves multiple universities, the CIC believes that the policies of DU should be given priority.

Delhi University is planning to start a PhD program in Hindu Studies from the 2025-26 academic session. The Governing Body of the Centre for Hindu Studies has suggested that the program be introduced in 2025-26. At first, the Centre will offer 10 seats, which will include seats reserved for specific categories and other additional categories. The number of seats may increase in the future based on the Centre's infrastructure and academic needs.
