Ahmedabad: Pil submitted in the Gujarat High Court seeks SC / ST and OBC quota in the IIM-A doctoral program, formerly known as a fellow program in management.
The Iim-A alumni association has applied for pills, requesting directions of the court to the authority of the Central Government and Premier Institute to expand the benefits of quota to poorly represented communities in the program.
Last week, the Global Iim alumni network filed pills “for the benefit of the Scheduled Tribal Candidates, caste schedules and classes and other retarded people with disabilities …”.
It has claimed that the other ten IIMs included in Bangalore, Calcutta, and Kozhikode have decided to implement reservations for Candidates SC / ST and OBC and for disabled people.
Doctoral Program at IIM-A, which began in 1971, has no reservation for communities that are less represented.
The quota system is not followed by IIM-A even though it is regulated and funded by the Ministry of Education Union, PIL has said.
This institution has acted contrary to the reservation policy and this requires serious and direct actions, pills have claimed.
PIL has requested a permanent procedure in the Iim-A PhD program, stating that this acceptance process is in severe violations of the Central Educational Institution (reservation in reception) ACT, 2006.
PIL has said the Institute does not provide reservations as determined by the Constitution.
It also looks for directions to the authorities to enforce the quota system by conducting appropriate provisions for ordering under the rights of persons with disabilities, 2017.
Pills want HC to state that IIM-A is bound to follow and apply 5) Constitution, which provides a reservation in educational institutions.
The alumni association has submitted the same pill in 2018.
But still not prosecuted for more than a year.
In 2020, the High Court wasted it by saying that someone was harmed by IIM-A policy, he could approach the court.
New pills will likely come to hear after vacation Diwali.
