In consideration to Indian constitutional provision, admission to Govt. primary shools and Govt. higher educational institutes, the principle adopted is :
Equity
Equality means treating everyone in exactly the same way, while equity means giving each person what is needed to reach a fair outcome, including special support for disadvantaged groups.
The Constitution follows equity in admissions at both levels: Article 15(4) and 15(5) permit special provisions for socially and educationally backward classes, SCs and STs, including in educational institutions; Article 46 directs promotion of educational interests of weaker sections; and the RTE Act under Article 21A reserves seats for disadvantaged children.
Reservation in admission to Government higher educational institutions is likewise a measure of equity, so splitting the principle between equality and equity for different levels does not reflect the constitutional approach.
Hence, the principle adopted for admission is Equity.
