Centre to move SC to get stay vacated
Centre to move SC to get stay vacated
After the six IIMs decided to declare their merit lists on April 21, IIM-Ahmedabad has said the list of qualified candidates will be released from 11 am onwards on that day. Other IIMs are also expected to follow suit. The government, meanwhile, is expected to move the Supreme Court on Monday.
Director of IIM-Bangalore Prof Prakash Apte, who wrote to the Union HRD Ministry on behalf of the IIMs on April 12, has said in his missive that the admission process will be done in two stages - the first list on April 21 will be as per last years intake and the second list will have the additional seats, which need to be upgraded due to OBC quota implementation.
Nowhere does the letter oppose the idea of OBC reservations, rather it gives ample time and scope to the government to act and get the stay order vacated.
