In addition, the 50 percent reservation for students from Delhi, 22% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in Delhi region, and the 10 percent reservation for Economically Backward Sections (EWS) has been removed for this year. The reservation criteria was challenged on January 14 in the Delhi High Court.
