In new draft rules, UGC redefines ‘discrimination’; now ‘caste-based discrimination’ only if against SCs/STs
The regulations also propose an ‘Equity Committee’ and punishments for false complaints; it defines ‘caste-based discrimination’ as bias ‘only against the members of the SCs and STs’

The University Grants Commission issued new draft regulations that redefine “discrimination” and introduce specific nomenclature for “caste-based discrimination” on campuses across the country. While the regulations also propose an “Equity Committee” and punishments for false complaints, its definition of what counts as discrimination may give rise to concerns of clarity.
The UGC (Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions) Regulations, 2025 define “caste-based discrimination” as “discrimination on the basis of caste or tribe only against the members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes”. It then defines “discrimination” as “any unfair, differential, or biased treatment or any such act” against “any stakeholder” on solely the grounds of “religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth, or any of them”.
