HUBLI: K N Desai, joint director (education), has clarified that SC/ ST candidates need not furnish income certificates during admissions to
Anand S.professsional courses.
Replying to an RTI application filed by Y A Doddamani of Karnataka Shikshana Mattu Samshodana Pratishthana, Desai said that neither the education department nor the medical education department has issued any order in the last 10 years, asking the SC/ST candidates selected through Common Entrance Tests (CET) to submit caste certificates during admissions to medical courses.
Doddamani had sought the information in view of several medical and engineering colleges insisting SC/ ST students to submit income certificates to avail of benefits.
He said the need of income certificate for SC/ ST candidates will not arise as they do not come under the creamy layer. Even several apex court judgments have clarified the same.
