&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A full week after the Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed the 4.5 per cent job and education sub-quota for minorities, suspense continues on the status of those aspiring to get into the IITs under the sub-quota.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Said Sahique Mustafa whose minority rank of 203 all but guaranteed him an IIT seat: &amp;ldquo;Last week my family was celebrating. Today, I have no hope.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
On Thursday morning, Law and Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said the government would move the Supreme Court against the judgment only in July, after the summer break. If this virtually ended any lingering hope of last-minute relief for the hundreds of IIT aspirants seeking to use the minority quota route, there was fresh confusion by evening with top sources from the Human Resource Development Ministry indicating that the government would approach the court for a stay on the judgment as early as Monday. The sources said the two Ministries held renewed consultations following feedback of growing unrest among minority students banking on the sub-quota for entry into the premier institution.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IITs were quick to react to the High Court ruling. In a statement soon after the judgment, the IIT-JEE-2012 said: &amp;ldquo;.. the judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court will be implemented by ignoring the provision for reservation of 4.5 per cent seats and by converting seats meant for OBC (non-creamy layer)-minority community to OBC (non-creamy layer) category.&amp;rdquo; The IITs made it clear that the sub-quota would be revived only in the event the government obtained a stay before June 13, the deadline for closure of the admission process.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With the government in no hurry to get a stay and the IITs of their own bat deciding to end the sub-quota, Minority students, most of them Muslims, were seized by confusion and despair. Of a total of 9,647 seats up for grabs, the IITs this year set aside 2101 seats for OBCs under the 27 per cent quota and another 434 for minorities under the sub-quota. The sub-quota ensured that virtually all of the 391 Muslim students shortlisted for counselling would get into the premier institution &amp;mdash; and quite possibly to a branch of their choice.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now competition has got stiffer with the minority students having to compete for admission within the broader OBC quota. The fate of aspirant Mustafa, a student of Rahmani-30 coaching institute in Bihar, illustrates the point. With an all-India rank of 15,803, there was no way he could have got into any IIT, much less one of his choice. However, his minority rank of 203 ensured that he would be through. He says: &amp;ldquo;I&#039;m upset at the extremely causal approach adopted by the government. With an OBC rank of 2928, there is almost no chance that I would make it to that quota.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Top IIT sources admitted that the cancellation of the sub-quota would leave out many minority students who were otherwise assured of admission. However, this assessment ran counter to the view of Mr. Khurshid who said at the press briefing that the minority students could all be squeezed into the OBC quota. Said an IIT administrator: &amp;ldquo;This is illogical. When you compete with more people, there can be no guarantee of your getting a seat. I&#039;m afraid many minority students are going to be disappointed.&amp;rdquo;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A full week after the Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed the 4.5 per cent job and education sub-quota for minorities, suspense continues on the status of those aspiring to get into the IITs under the sub-quota.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Said Sahique Mustafa whose minority rank of 203 all but guaranteed him an IIT seat: &amp;ldquo;Last week my family was celebrating. Today, I have no hope.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
On Thursday morning, Law and Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said the government would move the Supreme Court against the judgment only in July, after the summer break. If this virtually ended any lingering hope of last-minute relief for the hundreds of IIT aspirants seeking to use the minority quota route, there was fresh confusion by evening with top sources from the Human Resource Development Ministry indicating that the government would approach the court for a stay on the judgment as early as Monday. The sources said the two Ministries held renewed consultations following feedback of growing unrest among minority students banking on the sub-quota for entry into the premier institution.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IITs were quick to react to the High Court ruling. In a statement soon after the judgment, the IIT-JEE-2012 said: &amp;ldquo;.. the judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court will be implemented by ignoring the provision for reservation of 4.5 per cent seats and by converting seats meant for OBC (non-creamy layer)-minority community to OBC (non-creamy layer) category.&amp;rdquo; The IITs made it clear that the sub-quota would be revived only in the event the government obtained a stay before June 13, the deadline for closure of the admission process.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With the government in no hurry to get a stay and the IITs of their own bat deciding to end the sub-quota, Minority students, most of them Muslims, were seized by confusion and despair. Of a total of 9,647 seats up for grabs, the IITs this year set aside 2101 seats for OBCs under the 27 per cent quota and another 434 for minorities under the sub-quota. The sub-quota ensured that virtually all of the 391 Muslim students shortlisted for counselling would get into the premier institution &amp;mdash; and quite possibly to a branch of their choice.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now competition has got stiffer with the minority students having to compete for admission within the broader OBC quota. The fate of aspirant Mustafa, a student of Rahmani-30 coaching institute in Bihar, illustrates the point. With an all-India rank of 15,803, there was no way he could have got into any IIT, much less one of his choice. However, his minority rank of 203 ensured that he would be through. He says: &amp;ldquo;I&#039;m upset at the extremely causal approach adopted by the government. With an OBC rank of 2928, there is almost no chance that I would make it to that quota.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Top IIT sources admitted that the cancellation of the sub-quota would leave out many minority students who were otherwise assured of admission. However, this assessment ran counter to the view of Mr. Khurshid who said at the press briefing that the minority students could all be squeezed into the OBC quota. Said an IIT administrator: &amp;ldquo;This is illogical. When you compete with more people, there can be no guarantee of your getting a seat. I&#039;m afraid many minority students are going to be disappointed.&amp;rdquo;

If this virtually ended any lingering hope of last-minute relief for the hundreds of IIT aspirants seeking to use the minority quota route, there was fresh confusion by evening with top sources from the Human Resource Development Ministry indicating that the government would approach the court for a stay on the judgment as early as Monday.

Of a total of 9,647 seats up for grabs, the IITs this year set aside 2101 seats for OBCs under the 27 per cent quota and another 434 for minorities under the sub-quota. The sub-quota ensured that virtually all of the 391 Muslim students shortlisted for counselling would get into the premier institution &amp;mdash; and quite possibly to a branch of their choice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;But now competition has got stiffer with the minority students having to compete for admission within the broader OBC quota. The fate of aspirant Mustafa, a student of Rahmani-30 coaching institute in Bihar, illustrates the point. With an all-India rank of 15,803, there was no way he could have got into any IIT, much less one of his choice. However, his minority rank of 203 ensured that he would be through. He says: &amp;ldquo;I&#039;m upset at the extremely causal approach adopted by the government. With an OBC rank of 2928, there is almost no chance that I would make it to that quota.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Top IIT sources admitted that the cancellation of the sub-quota would leave out many minority students who were otherwise assured of admission. However, this assessment ran counter to the view of Mr. Khurshid who said at the press briefing that the minority students could all be squeezed into the OBC quota. Said an IIT administrator: &amp;ldquo;This is illogical. When you compete with more people, there can be no guarantee of your getting a seat. I&#039;m afraid many minority students are going to be disappointed.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A full week after the Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed the 4.5 per cent job and education sub-quota for minorities, suspense continues on the status of those aspiring to get into the IITs under the sub-quota.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Said Sahique Mustafa whose minority rank of 203 all but guaranteed him an IIT seat: &amp;ldquo;Last week my family was celebrating. Today, I have no hope.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
On Thursday morning, Law and Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said the government would move the Supreme Court against the judgment only in July, after the summer break. If this virtually ended any lingering hope of last-minute relief for the hundreds of IIT aspirants seeking to use the minority quota route, there was fresh confusion by evening with top sources from the Human Resource Development Ministry indicating that the government would approach the court for a stay on the judgment as early as Monday. The sources said the two Ministries held renewed consultations following feedback of growing unrest among minority students banking on the sub-quota for entry into the premier institution.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IITs were quick to react to the High Court ruling. In a statement soon after the judgment, the IIT-JEE-2012 said: &amp;ldquo;.. the judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court will be implemented by ignoring the provision for reservation of 4.5 per cent seats and by converting seats meant for OBC (non-creamy layer)-minority community to OBC (non-creamy layer) category.&amp;rdquo; The IITs made it clear that the sub-quota would be revived only in the event the government obtained a stay before June 13, the deadline for closure of the admission process.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With the government in no hurry to get a stay and the IITs of their own bat deciding to end the sub-quota, Minority students, most of them Muslims, were seized by confusion and despair. Of a total of 9,647 seats up for grabs, the IITs this year set aside 2101 seats for OBCs under the 27 per cent quota and another 434 for minorities under the sub-quota. The sub-quota ensured that virtually all of the 391 Muslim students shortlisted for counselling would get into the premier institution &amp;mdash; and quite possibly to a branch of their choice.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now competition has got stiffer with the minority students having to compete for admission within the broader OBC quota. The fate of aspirant Mustafa, a student of Rahmani-30 coaching institute in Bihar, illustrates the point. With an all-India rank of 15,803, there was no way he could have got into any IIT, much less one of his choice. However, his minority rank of 203 ensured that he would be through. He says: &amp;ldquo;I&#039;m upset at the extremely causal approach adopted by the government. With an OBC rank of 2928, there is almost no chance that I would make it to that quota.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Top IIT sources admitted that the cancellation of the sub-quota would leave out many minority students who were otherwise assured of admission. However, this assessment ran counter to the view of Mr. Khurshid who said at the press briefing that the minority students could all be squeezed into the OBC quota. Said an IIT administrator: &amp;ldquo;This is illogical. When you compete with more people, there can be no guarantee of your getting a seat.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A full week after the Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed the 4.5 per cent job and education sub-quota for minorities, suspense continues on the status of those aspiring to get into the IITs under the sub-quota.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Said Sahique Mustafa whose minority rank of 203 all but guaranteed him an IIT seat: &amp;ldquo;Last week my family was celebrating. Today, I have no hope.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
On Thursday morning, Law and Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said the government would move the Supreme Court against the judgment only in July, after the summer break. If this virtually ended any lingering hope of last-minute relief for the hundreds of IIT aspirants seeking to use the minority quota route, there was fresh confusion by evening with top sources from the Human Resource Development Ministry indicating that the government would approach the court for a stay on the judgment as early as Monday. The sources said the two Ministries held renewed consultations following feedback of growing unrest among minority students banking on the sub-quota for entry into the premier institution.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IITs were quick to react to the High Court ruling. In a statement soon after the judgment, the IIT-JEE-2012 said: &amp;ldquo;.. the judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court will be implemented by ignoring the provision for reservation of 4.5 per cent seats and by converting seats meant for OBC (non-creamy layer)-minority community to OBC (non-creamy layer) category.&amp;rdquo; The IITs made it clear that the sub-quota would be revived only in the event the government obtained a stay before June 13, the deadline for closure of the admission process.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With the government in no hurry to get a stay and the IITs of their own bat deciding to end the sub-quota, Minority students, most of them Muslims, were seized by confusion and despair. Of a total of 9,647 seats up for grabs, the IITs this year set aside 2101 seats for OBCs under the 27 per cent quota and another 434 for minorities under the sub-quota. The sub-quota ensured that virtually all of the 391 Muslim students shortlisted for counselling would get into the premier institution &amp;mdash; and quite possibly to a branch of their choice.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now competition has got stiffer with the minority students having to compete for admission within the broader OBC quota. The fate of aspirant Mustafa, a student of Rahmani-30 coaching institute in Bihar, illustrates the point. With an all-India rank of 15,803, there was no way he could have got into any IIT, much less one of his choice. However, his minority rank of 203 ensured that he would be through. He says: &amp;ldquo;I&#039;m upset at the extremely causal approach adopted by the government. With an OBC rank of 2928, there is almost no chance that I would make it to that quota.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Top IIT sources admitted that the cancellation of the sub-quota would leave out many minority students who were otherwise assured of admission. However, this assessment ran counter to the view of Mr. Khurshid who said at the press briefing that the minority students could all be squeezed into the OBC quota. Said an IIT administrator: &amp;ldquo;This is illogical. When you compete with more people, there can be no guarantee of your getting a seat. I&#039;m afraid many minority students are going to be disappointed.&amp;rdquo;

Suspense continues for minority IIT aspirants

-The Hindu A full week after the Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed the 4.5 per cent job and education sub-quota for minorities, suspense continues on the status of those aspiring to get into the IITs under the sub-quota. Said Sahique Mustafa whose minority rank of 203 all but guaranteed him an IIT seat: “Last week my family was celebrating. Today, I have no hope.” On Thursday morning, Law and Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said the government would move the Supreme Court against the judgment only in July, after the summer break. If this virtually ended any lingering hope of last-minute relief for the hundreds of IIT aspirants seeking to use the minority quota route, there was fresh confusion by evening with top sources from the Human Resource Development Ministry indicating that the government would approach the court for a stay on the judgment as early as Monday. The sources said the two Ministries held renewed consultations following feedback of growing unrest among minority students banking on the sub-quota for entry into the premier institution. The IITs were quick to react to the High Court ruling. In a statement soon after the judgment, the IIT-JEE-2012 said: “.. the judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court will be implemented by ignoring the provision for reservation of 4.5 per cent seats and by converting seats meant for OBC (non-creamy layer)-minority community to OBC (non-creamy layer) category.” The IITs made it clear that the sub-quota would be revived only in the event the government obtained a stay before June 13, the deadline for closure of the admission process. With the government in no hurry to get a stay and the IITs of their own bat deciding to end the sub-quota, Minority students, most of them Muslims, were seized by confusion and despair. Of a total of 9,647 seats up for grabs, the IITs this year set aside 2101 seats for OBCs under the 27 per cent quota and another 434 for minorities under the sub-quota. The sub-quota ensured that virtually all of the 391 Muslim students shortlisted for counselling would get into the premier institution — and quite possibly to a branch of their choice. But now competition has got stiffer with the minority students having to compete for admission within the broader OBC quota. The fate of aspirant Mustafa, a student of Rahmani-30 coaching institute in Bihar, illustrates the point. With an all-India rank of 15,803, there was no way he could have got into any IIT, much less one of his choice. However, his minority rank of 203 ensured that he would be through. He says: “I'm upset at the extremely causal approach adopted by the government. With an OBC rank of 2928, there is almost no chance that I would make it to that quota.” Top IIT sources admitted that the cancellation of the sub-quota would leave out many minority students who were otherwise assured of admission.
