No creamy layer requirements for SC, ST candidates: CCB
Staff Correspondent

The Central Counselling Board has clarified that there is no creamy
layer requirement to be satisfied by candidates belonging to the
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the allotment of seats
reserved in the 30 National Institutes of Technology, five Indian
Institutes of Information Technology, 13 Central Funded Institutions
and 23 State Financed Institutions.

In response to the report, "Counselling Board will go by Central List
of OBCs," which appeared in these columns on June 16, G. Srinikethan,
a professor of the NIT-Surathkal and Coordinator of the Board, said
candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes
should produce the latest caste certificate issued by a tahsildar or
an additional district magistrate or any other designated authority.
The caste of the candidate should be notified as an SC or an ST in the
amended Government of India Act, 1956.

The creamy layer requirement, Mr. Srinikethan said, applied to
candidates belonging to the Other Backward Classes. As per the October
2008 directive of the Department of Personnel and Training of the
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, children of the
families with an annual income of Rs. 4.5 lakh or above for three
consecutive years will come under the creamy layer and will not be
entitled to the OBC reservation benefits.

Mr. Srinikethan said candidates seeking seats from the OBC quota
should not belong to the creamy layer. The caste of the candidate
should be on the State- and Union Territory-wise Central Lists of the
OBC announced by the National Commission for Backward Classes.
