70% son of soil reservation in University of Pune..

University of Pune is going to implement 70% quota for postgraduate admissions for sons and daughters of the soil that have also completed Bachelor admission there. So if you are planning to do post graduate education later, you might want to make a decision accordingly based on your state of domicile. Ofcourse, this applies only to University of Pune and not to all colleges operating under the affiliation of Pune University.

A son or daugther of soil is defined as one who has a Maharashtra Domicile Certificate. So make sure you confirm the presence or absence of that certificate before making an admission decision. You can expect "English talking" in University of Pune to reduce in the long run, as the majority imposes its will. Nothing wrong with that. As the Maharashtra government has pointed out, such discrimination is happening all over the country and Pune University is just joining the party. No, it has nothing to do with Raj Thackeray. I wonder why the university officials are running around in Dubai recruiting students. They better be going to Dehu and Dahanu instead.

A university thrives in an atmosphere of diversity. We can expect the quality of Pune University to drop in the long run and a reduction in number of those annoying out of state folks.
