No faculty reservation in IIT and IIM, bill soon

The HRD ministry informed the council in a meeting that their long standing demand to exempt IITs and IIMs from faculty reservations has been met.

The UPA in the last session has introduced as bill in Parliament to provide statutory framework to quotas in jobs. The bill is now with the upper house, the Rajya Sabha.

HRD ministry has informed that the bill will exclude 47 top institutes including IITs, IIMs and NITs as well as all central universities, from reservations.

So what the Govt is trying to say is "OBC faculity reservation will dilute the quality of the IIMs NITs and IITs (which I believe it will). Only the students from  top 47 IITs institutes deserve undiluted, good quality and well qualified faculty, The rest of the students, who dont rich parents or dont have the money to train for CAT and other entrance exams dont deserve good facuilty as those colleges are meant for giving jobs to the rich and well connected OBCs(which are the ones who reap the benifit of reservation) and not necessarily for churning out well trained professionals"

Dont get me wrong, Im not supporting reservation in IITs and IIMs, Im against CASTE reservation all together.
