According to Dinesh Varma, chief administrative officer of IIMC, “We interviewed the students we had sent out letters to. We will have to choose nine of them for the 2008-2010 batch. We will now wait for the final verdict, after which we will send out letters to the nine OBC candidates selected today out of the 20 interviewed. In case the OBC quota is scraped, we will follow last year’s regime.”

IIT-Kharagpur is also waiting for the final verdict.

Its interviews for the post-graduate programme is scheduled for May 28.

At the same time, the Centre has approached the Supreme Court seeking vacation of the Calcutta High Court order staying the implementation of a government memorandum realating to 27 per cent quota for OBCs in post graduate courses in IIMs.
