Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Reservations should be provided only on the basis of financial condition of a person, not on caste base, if government wishes to support people on caste basis they could open coaching institutes to train them instead of reserving a seat which they don't deserve.

Equity is the basis of reservation policy to bring equality. Reservation gives concession to those who have suffered oppression through generations. The problem with education in India is that it offers free education up to the age of 15 but the level of Primary education in government schools is so bad that children who study there can never compete with those who study in private schools. Till this disparity in standard of education is not addressed, need for reservation in higher education will remain.

In my view, in persent situation reservation system became evil and it is escalating across the country such Haryana Jat Quota Stir, Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti in Gujarat and Maratha Aandolan Maharashtra, all third due to politicisation of reservation political parties make promises to particular class (mostly majority community) to enlist them in reservation list to only ensure their victory, actually these parties have no purpose to upliftment of backward classes. In fact this present system of reservation is based on cast which is not fair because every cast comprises both poor and rich we all know that a brahiman who fall in general category is very poor but is being deprived all benefits under reservation similarly at the other side a rich people who falls in lower cast is enjoying all benefits in fact he/she don't require reservations apart from it some people making false document with the help of corrupt officials thus the benefit of reservation is not reaching to right person there should be only one category that is poor we need to review the current system and list those people in reservation list who are really poor no matter caste and religion he/she belongs. All politicians know its bad effect wellfully but don't dare to touch it because of political reasons.


Res in higher-edu deprived real talent to get admission in good institution that later results in halt in county's growth. If govt is relly concerned about poor it should ensure easy access to poor for edu by setting up edu infrastructure in rural and remote areas rather than reservation.

In my opinion, reservation should be on economical basis, not on class/caste and religion.

The reservation should be given to deserving one who registered by government of India under BPL.

The other concern is about reserving the peoples who lives in forest. A special reservation should be given to these peoples because they are backward.

Higher education reservation lacks the country in the backward side. If you give opportunities to deserving one, our country would be a developed country very soon.

Thanks.

Reservation only given to those who are really poor not to the caste wise.

Reservation is evil of society. It was framed for the people of the downtrodden. It was applicable at that time; i.e. after independence, these reservations are extended due to political reasons only. We are in the 21st-century technology competing for the best.

With the reservation, they are diluting the quality of education, thus by quality of employees. Work and output and country are income.

How people with low qualities, skills gonna transformation. I agree with the point reservations are given on basis of economy.

Caste based reservation should be abolished and given to those who deserves it.

Reservation was needed only before the independence or 10 to 20 years after independence, but still we all are living under the dark cloud of reservation. The government who gave reservation to the downtrodden people so that they can get same opportunities as upper-class people are getting. But the I thing I want to say is that keep reservation on the seats in the college, jobs or anywhere they want but select the people who deserves. I mean to say if sc cast person has 85% then only select him if cuttoff is 85%. Remove the reservation from the percentages or marks and keep the reservation on the seats and keep cutoff same to every caste.

Reservation is only for the poor people who deserve not for the people of downtrodden caste who are rich. Now in present education system, students get seats based on their caste but not on their talent. This system should be changed.

Reservation must be based on class but not on the caste.

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.
