Uncertainty over Admissions Ends

Elite institutions to admit students like last year

New Delhi: Ending a three week-long uncertainty, the Indian Institutes of Management and other Central educational institutions were on Friday asked to limit their intake for the 2007-08 Academic Year to last year’s capacity, pending the final verdict from the Supreme Court on reservation for the Other Backward Classes.

This directive from the Human Resource Development Ministry came after it was cleared by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Earlier, HRD Minister Arjun Singh had a meeting with the United Progressive Alliance constituents and supporting left parties.

No central instituting could begin admissions until further communication from the Government “in respect of the seats that are proposed to be expanded during the coming academic session.”
