Wait is over, admissions to IIMs begin
The suspense over the admissions to the Indian Institutes of Management ended on Friday after the HRD ministry issued a directive to all Central educational institutions to begin admissions for general and SC/ST categories.
The IIMs wasted no time in releasing their merit lists, on their websites, leading to a collective sigh of relief. Students whose names have been released would have two weeks instead of three weeks to accept or reject the admission. The directive to 64 Central government funded institutions, including IIMs and IITs, came after UPA allies and left parties gave a go ahead to the government to allow admissions to general, SC and ST categories for the coming academic session without the OBC quota for the time being.
Along with IIM-A, IIM-B put up the names of selected students on its website. We expect the process to be over in a couple of hours, an IIM-B spok-esman said. Preparatory course for the post-graduate students would begin from the first week of June and the regular class from the first week of July, he said. Sources at IIM-A said, Offers of admission were given to students including the SC/ST and handicapped quota. IIM-Indore offered admission letters to 180 candidates for its two-year postgraduate MBA course, including candidates belonging to SC/ST and physically handicapped categories.
