Now that the reservation for the faculty thing being said, figure this. the Times of India, Jaipur edition, dated july 3, 2008, writes “Kanpur yet to get HRD funds for IIT-Rajasthan. Even as at least 112 students have already been enrolled in IIT Rajasthan for the current session, the Ministry of HRD has not provided funds to IIT Kanpur to run the newly set up premier institute.”
So is this wat is has come to? Make as much as 50% reservations for the non-General class (which, in fact, makes me think y is it called General Category at all, when all we are, in comparison to the “non-general” category, is just 50%. Shudn’t it just be another Minority then?) and when someone decides to make up for the lost number of seats in the general category, there is no funding from the same authoritative body to set up more institutes. way to go Mr. Singh.

icing on the cake … now 50% reservation for the IIT facullty too !!!
yeah i know dinkar. read the title mere dost…..faculty and student reservations were only the beginnings. i can see more coming that way if the government or watever governing bodies for the IITs doesn’t seriously think of making and retaining these institution’s autonomous status.
A very small column in the paper this morning went,”SC NOTICE ON IIT, IIM faculty reservation“.
“The supreme Court has sought a response from the Centre and UGC on a petition challenging reservations to faculty posts in educational institutions like the IITs IIMs JNU and AIIMS. NGO Citizens for Quality had contended that such reservations would dilute teaching standards. “
Lets see how this unfolds.. The same can be said about the Students reservation, the difference being that it diutes the output standards of the Institutions instead. The SC-ST etc who deserve these institutions make it through the general JEE. They do not need special quotas. Everybody writes the same exam..
