Kolkata: Amid strong protests against the quota reservation policy of the government, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Calcutta is all set to release its admission offer letters to Other Backward Classes (OBCs) candidates.

On May 14th, the Calcutta High Court had stayed the admission of OBC candidates in higher institutions. Thereafter, the Supreme Court permitted all higher education institutes to go ahead with their admission process.

IIM-C conducted a round of group discussions and personal interviews on May 15th. The final list was delayed seeking approval from the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD).

Mr. Dinesh Verma, the Chief Administrative officer of IIM-C, said that, "The Ministry of Human Resource Development has attached a copy of the Supreme Court ruling with the official letter and asked the institute to proceed with its upcoming admission process."

Officials at the institute have also said that the offer letters are 'Provisional' as no specific instructions have come from the HRD Ministry.

Candidates, to whom the offer letters have been issued, have also been asked to sign an undertaking that their admissions would be terminated if any legal complications arise in near future.
