There is respite for the nearly 5,000 students hoping for a berth in the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM). Moving beyond rhetoric of concern for students, the government has now put in place a system that will safeguard students from losing money should they decide to take up admission in another B-school as a fallback while they wait for the IIM admission list.

The government has directed the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to ensure that institutions do not use the opportunity that has presented itself to make money. The AICTE has asked all technical education institutions, universities and deemed universities providing technical education, that is managment, engineering, pharmacy, architecture, to only charge a maximum of Rs 1,000 from students who withdraw from a course before the academic session begins.

While the AICTE directive is applicable for all technical courses, it’s students opting for management education that will require the protection it provides the most. The IITs, NITs have just begun their admission processes, while central universities are yet to begin the process. The government expects that a decision on the future of the implementation of the 27% reservation quota will be taken by the apex court long before these institution reach the final stage of their admission process.

The directive will be applicable to over 1,400 B-schools which include top ranking institutions like NMIMS University ( Narsee Monjee institute of Management Studies), Jamnalal Bajaj School of Managment Studies, XLRI Jamshedpur, Loyola Institute of Business Administration, TA Pai Managment Institute.

The decision by the IIMs to hold their final admission list in abeyance till they receive a directive from the government will mean that as many as 5000 students will have to make alternative arrangments to avoid losing a year. Only 1350 students will be finally admitted to the IIMs. Unlike the central educational institutes, private institutions can go ahead with their admission process. Under normal circumstances, students who don’t make it to the IIMs would seek admission in these schools. However, with the wait for the final list getting longer, it would seem most of the nearly 5000 students who were called for interviews at the six IIMs would seek admission in a private B-school as a fallback measure.




MY QUESTION IS ==========IS IT NOT REDICULOS DESISION BY Mr ARJUN SINGH ........TO HOLD UP FUTURE OF STUDENTS FOR HIS EGO=======

While this may sound simple, in practice it will mean paying up fees which are anywhere between Rs 70,000 to Rs 2 lakh and submitting original certificates. What has been happening is that when a student withdraws from the course, they end up having to forfeit the year’s fees. This was one of the reasons cited by the IIMs when they set April 21 was a the date for announcing their admission list
 
As a side effect of this quota fight is that stuents are in a state of quandry whether to enter other colleges or not.The fee paid to other colleges will nt be refunded completely.This is absolutely ridiculous.

Though there was a GO a couple of days back ordering the colleges to repay a part of the fees of the students.But still I feel the students are one really getting affected bcos of the vote bank politics.

yes deepak you are absolutely correct...though my views may differ from some of the members...but since i regularly spend my time in IIMs during conferences and other programme....my personal views are that premium institutes must be place to prove and make excellence and no shortcuts to achieve it must be entertained......Mr. arjunsingh`s decision is ultimately doing no good to us ...whether of any cast or status....we know of stories where a person like Abraham Lincoln ,,,,rose to the highest post of America...due to his hard work. Despite of his poor economic conditions...leave alone those who do have good economic status and still want privileges......may it is that no one want it and only these politicians and spreading disease of greed ……
 
the scene some years back was different...
it is no way to segregate the obc from the regular junta by way of quota anymore
