Which committee has recently recommended quota for girl students in IITs?

[ A ] Abhijit Sen committee
[ B ] Timothy Gonsalves committee
[ C ] D M Dharmadhikari committee
[ D ] Sumit Bose committee

Answer : Option B

Explanation :

The committee under the chairmanship of professor Timothy Gonsalves has recently recommended reservation for girl students in IITs to address the issue of slump in the number of female students entering the presti gious insti tutes. The recommendation of the committee will be taken up in the meeting of the Joint Admission Board (JAB) for a final decision, which will decide whether the reservation will come in effect from 2017 or from 2018. The number of seats for male candidates will not be affected and this will help IITs achieve the one lakh target by 2020. Also, only candidates who have already qualified in JEE-Advance will be considered.
