UGC Equity Regulations, 2026

The University Grants Commission (Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions) Regulations, 2026, commonly referred to as the UGC Equity Regulations, 2026 or the Anti-Discrimination Rules, 2026, are regulations notified by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in India aimed at addressing discrimination within higher education institutions (HEIs). The regulations seek to replace the existing 2012 regulations with more stringent measures to ensure inclusion for students from marginalized backgrounds, particularly the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC).
