Admission delays to hurt pvt B-Schools most: XLRI
Even though the Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday enhanced the previously-fixed August date of its hearing on the OBC reservation case to May 8, any delay in the admission process at the six IIMs in the country is going to cost premier private B-Schools, and students seeking admission into such institutions, the maximum, feels XLRI.
Also, the chain reaction activated by the delay in admissions at the IIMs this year is likely to be felt most by students who would have got admission first in any of the privately-run B-Schools in the country and were later shifting to another better-known privately-managed management academy, as there is going to be no protection on the fee front for such candidates.
According to the XLRI director Father N Casamir Raj, as the B-School has fixed June 25 as the effective last date for closing admission of students for the current year, it is expecting a large number of seats going unfilled this year if things didnt clear up in time
