Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Hello everyone as per the topic reservation should be removed from the education system because there are many talented students who are not able to fulfill their dream of studying where hey want to just because of reservation and these can be from upper class as well as from middle class.

Each and every student should be judge from his/her knowledge what he/she is from inside, because now a days we all students are being judged by there numbers and knowledge. So reservation should be removed from the education system.

According to my point of reservation should be banned for all castes. I would like explain one situation. I'm preparing for bank exams and I'm in poor condition. I'm not able pay application fee also. But my friend she is ST and also she is very rich. She got no application fee for SC and ST candidates. It is not correct way I think.

Hi friends.

It is very funny to hear that government has only a reservation option for Social equality. In my point of opinion it is very bad idea to set up cotta systems, it sounds bad that due to cotta system the more claimed person are not getting a admission in good colleges and I think due to this the IIT of India's that have a good rank in world. Today they are not reputed due to not very skilled students, government should make alternatives or set up more universities.

This whole discussion is revolving around the fact that reservation is the only way to empower downtrodden, which is not correct. For last 50 years this policy is in place and we can see that the only thing which it has promoted is the degradation of quality. It's not reaching deep enough in the social strata, helping only those people who already are economically.

So the best thing would be to buttress the social support system, be it monthly payments to support weaker sections of society so that children don't need to work, provide free and quality education in government institutes (starting from primary education) and above all making it a mission so that common public who is self sufficient gets involved to lift up their fellow citizens.

Reservations should be provided to the deserved. In reserved classes too, there are to categories-labour class (those still behind & are lagging) & service classes (whose ancestors are privileged from this in 50s & 60s & well off). The ones who get it are the service classes, thus labour class still lags behind. There are also many seats vacant for reservation unoccupied, where as many general classes are rejected as their seats are full. I feel education should be made free till 4th std for all, then let all compete together to find the place in the mainstream. Thus reservations should be based on their income status and hence should be given scholarships for same, rather than all these turmoil.

Yes. We know that in India their 75% people need reservations. Sc, st, vj, nt, obs need the reservation because of their economical condition. Most of the people belong to this caste are poor. As a survey 75% belong to this caste are needed reservations. If you are thinking we have to give reservation on economical then we know that's how much we are computed. Dr. B.A. Ambedkar did a wonderful think by focusing on future consideration.

Hello friends, I am Hari.

According to my opinion, reservation in education not matters a lot. It's necessary objective is that, students from all caste, it may be poor or rich should get equal opportunities of getting admission and job and family income is much more evident to caste.

In present reservation scheme, the percentage of seats provided are much proportional to the population of respective caste except for open which has got about 50 percent; and it is appropriate in order to have opportunity to students from poor families, other casts (SC, ST, OBC) which will lead to development of rural areas with SC, ST cast people.

Concluding all of the above terms I just want to say that reservation should be there but up to a certain extent the poor and the needy sections of the society must be given allowances and funds by the government for their upliftment, and as regarding the development of the country there must be no caste reservation each and everyone must be treated equally and only the weak sections must be given reservation so that corruption must be removed to a certain extent and making India a country where everyone is equally treated.

We are living in a country which is still developing instead our country is the world largest democratic country. But we are facing many problems and reservation is one of them. By giving reservation we are giving chance to the people who belongs to schedule caste/tribe but what is for people of general caste.

Poor people are in all classes but why giving this only sc/st. I think it must be given only on the basis of financial condition. There must be a criteria for getting reservation n there must be a transparency regarding it.

Hi friends.

I agree there is need for reservation. Most of the reserved seats in elite institutes remains vacant. That shows the progress of backward caste. Also no one guarantee that reservation based on financial condition will not be misused. I am proud Indian and believe we Indians will be fist to misuse it. We have high ethics value we are discussing this to remove the reservation because we want opportunity to misuse it.

There are instances where it is being misused. In west Bengal the schools will publish vacancy for certain subjects where its difficult to find the reserved category students. If not found then there is provision to convert the seat to general category. Also can anybody tell me what is the fee for medical education from management quota. Its in Lakhs. So this doctors from private medical colleges are very skilled and competent.
