The Bombay high court (HC) on Friday came down on Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) for irregularities in admissions to Master in Arts (MA) in Applied Psychology course. “You (TISS) have committed fraud against the entire society,” said the bench of chief justice Dipankar Datta and justice Girish Kulkarni. “You have admitted somebody against seats for OBC category, but the candidate does not belong to OBC category,” the bench added.

As per a report in Hindustan Times, the judges were irked to note that admissions were given to some open category candidates on vacant OBC category seats for the course and then admission of some of those candidates were cancelled while some were asked to join the course at the institute’s Chennai campus.
