OBC quota: Centre may move SC today
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 tomorrow.
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.

We can’t have quota in one go, say IIMs
BANGALORE: In a major setback to oversight committee's move to implement 27% OBC quota at the premier Indian Institutes of Management from 2007-'08, directors of six IIMs have thrown up their hands saying it would be practically impossible to implement the quota in one go.
