University open to all persons

The University shall, subject to the provisions of this Act and the statutes, be open to all persons; but nothing in this section shall be deemed to require the University to admit to any course of study a larger number of students than may be prescribed:

Provided that the Government may reserve seats in colleges under the University for members of the socially and educationally backward classes, the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in accordance with such principles as may, from time to time, be determined by the Government in this behalf.
