candidates belonging to the minority group concerned based on the inter-se merit in the

by each Professional Institution shall be determined by taking into account the average
cost of imparting education per seat on the basis of the principles for calculation of the
same laid down by the UGC guidelines and instructions, if any, issued from time to
time and providing for a reasonable surplus over the average cost per seat which would
be sufficient for the purpose of development of facilities for quality education and for
expansion of the Professional Institution.
