The Supreme Court on Thursday held that the minimum eligibility percentage for admission in central universities for OBC category should be at most 10 per cent less than that of general category students. The bench headed by Justice R V Raveendran ruled that the eligibility criteria for OBC category students should not be decided on the basis of admission given to the last candidate in general category. The apex court however, clarified that there would be no disturbances in the admissions which have already been done by the universities for this academic session. The ruling also made it clear that where the seats are vacant for lack of eligible OBC candidates, they would be filled by general category. The Supreme Court has extended admission date in colleges including JNU and Delhi University till August 31 to fill OBC quota seats on the basis of its judgement. The court's clarification came while hearing a petition filed by P V Indersan, a former professor of IIT Madras, seeking its direction in the light of discrepancies in implementation of OBC quota in different educational institutions.
