New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday quashed a Calcutta High Court interim order that stopped implementation of 27 per cent OBC quotas in post-graduate courses, including the ones in the Indian Institutes of Management.
The Calcutta High Court was hearing a plea challenging OBC quotas in post-graduate courses by a student who is to appear for an interview for admission to the IIM-C.
Following the stay, all admission procedures in IIM-Calcutta were put on hold. But on Thursday, the Central government appealed to Supreme Court seeking a vacation on the stay.
The apex court’s ruling comes as a relief for MBA aspirants. The Court in its observation also said admissions to post-graduate courses in Central educational Institutions will be provisional and will be subject to the outcome of the final order in the matter, pending before it.
