Start admissions without OBC quota: Govt

Tweet

After days of uncertainty, government on Friday issued a directive to all Central educational institutions to commence admissions for General and SC/ST categories asserting "every constitutional and legal" measure will be taken to ensure the OBC reservation. The directive to 64 Central government funded institutions, including IMs 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.
