Hi friends,

The Main motto of the reservation was to uplift the backward section of our society whose life were miserable before independence. They needed such reservation up to max. Up to 20-30 years but the current scenario is reservation still exists and we are almost 70 years after independence.

Many students are not getting what they deserve because of reservation.

Nowadays, reserved person living a luxurious life while not reserved person working hard and living a middle-class life.

The Solution is simple, the government should give money for institution fees, give books and.

Help poor students. The Government should take care that 'money will not reason for any desired candidate to achieve what they achieve'.

Due to reservation deserving candidates of our nation go abroad to work in good companies and reserved people work in government jobs. , may be a reason we could not develop as quickly as other countries are developing.

I would like to explain some situations:

I studied hard during preparation but they got selected in exams/jobs as cut-off less for them so no need to study much. (once I asked my SC Friend- how much want in GATE exam. He said 60 approx. But we require 90+ out of 100).

I am belonging from town and medium family (not having money after my B-Tech) and they are from big city and rich family and abundant resources of study. Then why government still providing reservation on simple Cast basis.

I am not saying reservation should totally stop but govt. should change their policy of reservation and think for peoples who are from villages and financially weak and have not much resources of study.

In my opinion, reservation is one of the waste things to apply in education sector because there is no need of caste in education, in fact, it is killing the chances of merit people, but for better India in future the reservations must be banned in education and finally it is not at all alternative and moreover it creates a social inequality among the students.

Hello friends.

My view in this topic is;

Reservation should be abolished as early as possible especially for the competative exams.

Because many general category students are preparing very hard and even scoring more marks than the SC ST category students but not getting selected just because of the caste.

And an SC/ST Category student even scoring less marks than the general category students they are getting selected.

By giving more efforts, being more deserving for the seats the general category students are not getting it.

So, the reservation system based on caste is very bad.

Hello, everyone, making reservation in the education system and job sectors were made to uplift the backward section of our society whose life were miserable before independence. They needed such reservations max up to 20 to 30 years. But the current scenario is reservations still exists and we are almost 70 years after independence.

The current scenario is that many students are not getting what they deserve because the system has students who are reserved. Goverment should focus now on equal rights to all. Because of political reasons such reservations exists.

Conclusion: Reservation should exist on the economical background not on caste. Because these promotes inequality in the society itself by the govt.

Hi, friends.

In my opinion, reservation should be given to those who actually are not capable of fulfilling their basic requirements and are poor. Reservation should be in terms of class wise, not caste wise.

As Indian law says that everyone is equal on the basis of color, caste, religion etc. So, why do we need reservation.

1. There are sometimes when a general student is not able to get admission in college because seats for general are full.

2. It also encourage corruption in India. For example general people make fake certificates to get benefits.

Reservation was made to maintain equality among the people, but still there is no equality among us. A general category students percentage should be above 90% and for obc/st/sc category students percentage should be above maximum 60%.

Reservation makes one of the fundamental right of our constitution false that is "Right To Equality". Yes it's bringing inequality to the society. If all people are treated equally then why reservation ?let all to come out and feel the taste of competition. Someone said about history. Yes in past backward classes suffered a lot. Isn't reservation repeating past. Early backward classes where the sufferer and now the general. Should we repeat the same mistake of our forefather? The time, when the constitution was written by B. R Ambedkar was completely different from current time. So I strongly believe that it should be rewritten.

I also would like to highlight that because of reservation the quality of doctors, engineers and other professionals is falling down which is very dangerous for the progress of our country. Development of our country can be achieved only by the uplift of all the sections of the society irrespective of cast, creed and color. Knowledge and hard work should be valued not caste.

In my point of view reservation given only that person, who really need a reservation.

Reservation must be given only a financial condition basis, not for a cast basis.

Because of reservation knowledgeable person go back compared to an unknowledgeable person, in our education system need to totally remove reservation so that good knowledgeable person goes to right Place.

Hello everyone, in my opinion, reservation is important but the basis of giving reservation has to be changed soon. If this system continues soon the general category people might be in need of reservation because of not getting selection irrespective of being better than the other person.

Reservations must be given to the physically disabled and the poor people not to the rich people because they are of backward sector.

It is said "YOU TAKE THE RESERVED, WE TAKE THE DESERVED" Where all the good candidates of our nation opts to work in companies like Google and Facebook while the reserved people work in government jobs, maybe that's the reason we could not develop as quickly as other countries are developing.

Thanks.

Nowadays, Reservation system not required. Yes, because of reservation system merit students lose their jobs and opportunities, this reservation system required for after independence 20 or 30years only.

Talented persons losing their jobs because of this reservation, reservation needed for economically backward peoples, not for cast based people, govt should change this cast system, give chance to merit students.
