In a curious development, the IIM review committee that is slated to discuss the fee hike issue on April 25 at the IIM-A, will tackle another crucial issue, power to the chairman. This is the first time in the 46-year history of the IIMs that such a point has been inserted in the terms of reference (agenda) of the review committee. As the chairman of the IIMs is a non-executive post, any recommendation of change in his role will have a bearing on the autonomy of the institute. |

Admissions were to begin on April 11 but are yet to start in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling in favour of 27 per cent reservation granted recently to the OBCs, except the “creamy layers”. Now, with the possibility of the fee-hike being ‘deferred’ also emerging, it is still not clear when the admissions would begin. |
