Want Centre to completely reject proposal made by committee
A number of student bodies have strongly condemned the recommendation to scrap reservations in recruitment of faculty in IITs, made by the committee constituted by Ministry of Education (MoE). They urged the Union government to completely reject the panel’s recommendations.
On December 16, The Hindu had carried a report on the MoE panel’s recommendation that faculty quotas be done away with at the IITs. Condemnation also came from Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan of CPI (M), who had previously raised questions about the functioning of the committee, and Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (MMK).
