| The IIMs have said that they will go ahead with admissions for all categories, except OBCs, from April 21.
This was announced despite a circular from the central government that put all admissions on hold indefinitely. So in effect, the IIMs have only partly accepted the government's circular.
The admission list will be as per last year's capacity, and the institutes will wait for the government directive on the expanded intake to accommodate OBC quota, IIM-Ahmedabad Director Bakul Dholakia said on Thursday.
"We are deferring the increased intake rather than staying the admission process as a whole. This does not alter the status of OBC reservation implementation," he said.
The expanded intake would be held back till the government issues a directive in this regard, he said.
Dholakia also hit out at the government for not consulting IIM officials before moving the circular on expansion of seats to accommodate OBC quotas.
"There was no consultation or discussion with us before the government moved the circular. Had there been a consultation they would have proposed what we have decided today. We would like to cooperate with the government in whatever decision they have taken," he said.
"This decision is taken because students face uncertainty and financial loss. Our concern in the whole thing is to protect the interests of the student community," he added.
The results of the entrance exams to the IIMs were expected on Thursday.
