OBC creamy layer eats up general seats at AIIMS
Three years ago, the 27 per cent quota for Other Backward Classes was implemented in educational institutions across the country. Three students in the MBBS 2009 batch, from the reserved category, claimed general category seats on merit. “Meritorious students automatically become part of general rank, irrespective of their category,” said Dr YK Gupta, PRO at AIIMS. According to the government’s directive, general students should occupy 50 per cent of seats, 15 per cent by the schedule caste and 7.5 per cent by the schedule tribe and 27 per cent OBC. “Those three must have been creamy layer OBC candidates who later took admission through the general category,” said a senior official.
