Govt 4.5 % Dhoka : IIT dream of Minority students shattered
New Delhi, June 17:
The
central govt order to provide Minority quota from OBC and the Supreme
Court’s refusal to stay a high court order quashing the 4.5 per cent
minority sub- quota will seriously affect over 40 per cent of the
students shortlisted for counselling by the IITs under this category.
According to sources at IIT , the first 150 plus rankers out of the total 325 minority students majority Muslims — will get a seat. In other words.More than 50 % of the candidates will not get a seat and may lose their chance of entering the IITs.
The Govt was just wooing Muslims before the UP elections and the nono serious attitude of Govt of just sending an affidavit before AP high out instead of a renouned lawyer.In the case of Lanco wakf land case Govt has utilised the services of Attorney general and the judgment went against wakf board.
The first round of allotment however, is yet to be announced as the IITs are already two days behind schedule. According JEE counselling brochure, the announcement should have been made by June 14.
Minority candidates have been on the edge about their fate. “ I called the JEE office and was told that the first allotment will be announced before Sunday,” said Adil Ali Nirban ( 18), who was ranked 290 in the minority category and 3,426 in the overall OBC category.
Earlier under the proposed 4.5 per cent sub- quota under the OBC reservation, 441 seats were reserved by the IITs for minorities. But the number of candidates fell severely short and only 325 were called for counselling, which practically assured them of a course and IIT of choice.
But with the Andhra Pradesh High Court striking down the sub- quota on May 28 and the SC not staying the order, the fate of these students became uncertain.
The sub- quota has now been merged back into the OBC quota and the minority students have had to compete for seats along with other OBC candidates, which meant that their chances of getting a course or IIT of choice or securing admission at all is difficult unless their rank in the overall OBC category is good.
The first round of allotment of seats has been delayed.More than 70 Students from Andhra pradesh were hopeful to get into IIT but for the non serious attitude of the govt these Minority students will denied of their due right.
