    27% of the seats in IIMs are reserved for people belonging to non-creamy layer in OBC. Non-creamy layer refers to the comparatively poorer and less educated members of Other Backwards Classes (OBC). People belonging to non-creamy layer are eligible for quotas in various institutions as per the rules specified by the government. As per the definition, the creamy layer is
    (a) An annual income of more than 6 lacs Applies for professionals, agriculturists, landowners etc.
    (b) High posts in the government Group A/B employees (there are a few exceptions).
    (c) Governor, Supreme court judges and other constitutional posts
