‘RSS’ links, ‘friends’ in high places: The trouble with IIMC’s recent recruitment of professors

In January last year, the Indian Institute of Mass Communication announced the recruitment of six associate professors and two assistant professors.

Of the six associate posts, two were reserved for OBCs, one for Dalits, and one for economically weaker sections; while the other two posts were unreserved. There was no reservation for the recruitment of the assistant professor posts.
