AHMEDABAD, APR 20 : Deferring the earlier decision to announce admissions on April 21, the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) on Friday said that it would offer the admissions to successful candidates for its two-year Post Graduate Programme (PGP) 2007-09 batch only after the OBC quota issue is resolved.
As per a release issued by IIM-A, “The decision to offer admissions only after the 27% OBC implementation issue is resolved — is taken in pursuance to advice of the Union ministry of human resource development vide its letters on April 5 and April 19 as well as in the view of the fact that the implementation of the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, 2006 is under the Supreme Court’s consideration.”
All the six IIMs were to hold a meeting on Friday, but they called off it after the central government sent a fresh communication to the B-schools to put on hold their admission processes till the apex court hears the matter on April 23.
It may be mentioned here that all the IIMs had unanimously decided to announce the first list of 1,350 successful candidates on April 12, 2007.
The B-schools were saying that they could not delay the admission process indefinitely as it might affect the quality of intake for the ensuing batch.
Earlier announcing the decision of all the six IIMs, Bakul Dholakia, director, IIM-A, had informed that apart from the quality of intake being affected due to the delay, it would also impact other 81 educational institutes, which offered admissions based on CAT result even though these institute were also not restricted by the HRD circular.
