Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Board of Governors of the six Indian Institutes of Management will meet in Ahmedabad on Saturday to discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's stay on the 27 per cent OBC quota.
All the IIMs had announced seat increases from this year to accommodate the OBC quota without affecting general category students.
The admission process is already underway in most of the institutes, but authorities at the IIMs say they will take a final decision on admissions only after getting a communication from the Central Government.
The institutes have said that admission deadlines will not be affected by the decision and results will be announced on April 12.
The IITs are also likely to withhold the 9 per cent OBC quota in the Joint Entrance Examination or JEE this year in view of the Supreme Court order.
In its interim order staying the Central Educational Institution (Reservation in Admission) Act of 2006, the apex court said the 1931 census could not be a determining factor for identifying OBCs for providing a quota to them.
However, it clarified that the benefit of reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes could not be withheld and the Centre could go ahead with the process to determine backward classes.
The next hearing on the case is only in August.
