SC order may delay IIM admissions for this acad yr

The Supreme Court order is likely to delay the IIM admissions for this academic year.

The final list of candidates which was supposed to come out tomorrow, may be deferred, IIM-Ahmedabad Director Sameer Baruah said.

After the Supreme Court's order on OBC reservations, all the IIMs will have consultation and might defer the release of list by a week.

Baruah said, “After the supreme court's order on OBC reservations, all the IIMs will have consultation and might defer the release of list by a week. We were to release the final list of candidates tomorrow. But after the Supreme Court's order on OBC reservations, all the IIMs will have consultation and might defer the release of list by a week."

"We have not received the copy of the order yet and are not clear what SC has said about the implementation of the OBC quota in IIMs," Barua added.

"All the six IIMs were to release the list of admission on the same date," Barua said.

Regarding the implementation of court's order Barua said, "We would follow whatever the law of the land says".
