The Ministry has asked the premier business schools to provide qouta in faculty positions to SC,ST,OBC and EWS candidates, which they currently do not offer. All 20 Indian Institute of Managament (IIMs) have requested the HRD Ministry to exempt them from reserving faculty positions for Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC) and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
According to officials, the B-schools have made the request of exemption by saying that they adopt a fair recruitment process and give equal opportunities to all, including disadvantaged sections of society.
