IIM-B may hold back call letters

Following the Supreme Court stay on 27 per cent quota for OBC students in institutes of higher learning, the IIMs may hold back offer letters being made to these students.
Dr Prakash G. Apte, Director, IIM, Bangalore told Business Line: "We have to stand by the Supreme Court judgement and implement whatever the Government decides."
He added that the institute was awaiting official communication from the Government to take further action.
Meanwhile, today's stay order has confused OBC students who were awaiting their offer letters from the institutes.
Though the IIMs have not made final offer letters, students have received call letters for interviews and some of them even completed the process, said sources.
Mr Shubhabrata Das, Chairman (Admissions), said that the institute is yet to send offer letters to students and "may have to hold them back."
Mr Dipankar Choudhury, Head of Career Plan, a Bangalore-based CAT training institute, said that he had received several calls from students in dilemma.
"They were upset about the timing. If they had known earlier, they would have tried at other institutes."
Earlier this year, IIM, Bangalore had decided to increase its intake of students for the post-graduate programme in management to 270.
This was in line with the phased increase in the intake (seven per cent every year) planned by the six IIMs across the country.
