A group of Delhi University students belonging from OBC (Other Backward Classes) category has demanded reservations in hostel accommodation facilities of Delhi Univesity. The students have claimed that according to the norms implemented by the university grants council, there are guidelines laid for reserving accommodation of OBC students in University hostels. But most of the universities do not follow the rules to give accommodation reservation in hostels to the Post Graduate level OBC students.

Delhi University PG hostel facilities like Gwyer Hall, Jubilee Hall, D.S. Kothari Hostel, Mansarover Hostel, Post-Graduate Men's Hostel, Meghdoot Hostel & V.K.R.V. Rao Hostel, and most of the other hostel’s official notifications do not mention the reservation for OBC students.

One of the students who recently enrolled under a post-graduate course in the University of Delhi has said that the UGC has directives for the hostels to strictly observe the reservation percentage implemented by UGC in the notifications. He added that in case of Post Graduate (PG) students hostels, there is no reservation of OBC students in the hostels.

Another student has said that the Post Graduate Hostels of Delhi University take admission on the basis of merit rank of the students scored in the entrance and the OBC students face issues as the private accommodation facilities are much costly for them.

The University Grants Council circulated the Central Educational Institutions Reservation in Admission Act 2006 & Amendment Act 2012 to be obeyed by the Central Educational Institutions. The acts direct them to implement reservation specifications including the admission of OBC category students in these Institutions.

According to the Ministry of Human Resource Development, the UGC has issued an instruction to all grant-in-aid institutions funded under the Central Government, except the minority Institutions under Article 30 (1) of the Indian Constitution to mandatorily implement 27% accommodation reservation for OBCs. The ministry told the parliament two years ago that 22 of 40 central universities have successfully implemented the directions to reserve OBC accommodation according to the prescribed rate as per the data of 2015-16.
