Click to play videoBangalore: The Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore, at the RTI hearing of MBA aspirant Vaishnavi Kasturi, on Monday said that it has informally given all information to Vaishnavi's parents and won't give it in writing as it is not under public domain.
Visually impaired Vaishnavi failed to get through IIM-B despite having scored well in the Common Admission Test. Shocked at her exclusion, she demanded a list of credentials of the blind candidates short-listed by the Institute.
But when they denied declaring the cut-off marks and said such information is confidential, Vaishnavi's family slapped a RTI notice on the institute.
Meanwhile, the reason that the premier institute gave for not advancing her to the next admission stage was that they consider other criteria like graduation and class 12 and class 10 marks for admissions as well, and Vaishnavi was found to be lacking there.
Vaishnavi's parents however say they will continue to fight for making the selection process in IIMs transparent.
The next RTI hearing is on April 23, which will ascertain the jurisdiction - state or central information commission that the case would come under.
