OBC Quota upheld by Supreme Court.

While the court does bar the creamy layer, knowing the way admissions are procured using fake caste certificates, we will have undeserving candidates from the creamy layer as well as the upper castes taking up seats which would have served better had they been occupied by a deserving candidate.
All IIMs have hiked their fees to match the levels of private institutions. Were they aware of this judgement before doing the same?
With 49% of the seats taken by lower ranked people, the amount of the best students (falling in the 99-100 percentile range for CAT or the dudes who aced their GD/PIs) going to private institutes like MDI, SP Jain, XlRI, etc. will increase. Also which company is going to visit the IIM campus after day 0 when they know that there will be more bright students in the private institutes compared to the students left over in the IIMs after the cream have been taken away ("cream" here meaning capability wise)?
Borrowing from the pony tail guru, students will have no choice but to "think beyond the IIMs".
I am feeling: gloomy
