The plea in Supreme Court states, even the Institutions of National Importance (INIs) like AIIMS, NLUs, IITs, IIMs, etc. are not spared. Every year 50% of their very scarce seats are sacrificed on the altar of reservations. For how long will this continue?
The Supreme Court today dismissed as frivolous and with cost a plea seeking prevention of suicides at IITs across the country. The court said that the authorities are alive to the problem. The petitioner was fined Rs 10,000.
