Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

I think, reservation should be permitted, but to some extent only. For example, my age is 27, now onwards I would not be able to apply to some government organization or PSU. Person belonging to reservation category can apply with 5 years of relaxation. How can you justify reservation by his or her age. Also general category applicants pay fees Rs. 500 and reservation category applicants pays only 50. Also there is reservation in marks. From my personal point of view there should not be any reservation in age. And government has to think 100 times on it.

Hi friends.

In my opinion reservation should not be given in higher studies, because at the time of independence reservation was given a slot in the constitution by Dr.B.R. Ambedkar to eradicate the differences and ensuring equal status to the backward caste. The provision of reservation was made only for ten years but later on it was politicized for vote banks by politicians.

But as in current scenario almost differences has been rooted out form our society and people of backward caste has also got opportunity in almost all sectors. So I think instead of giving reservation for higher studies primary and secondary education in government school should be modernized. Eg. E-teaching, recruiting teachers with proper training prior to joining schools.

You know in Karnataka. Thy are not only giving reservations and free education for as AC and ST. But also gives full money for these category students to study in abroad and even he is very rich also he will get these benefits.

Reservation is not necessary because everyone has talent and skills because of this the students having skills are suffering and it's not like that the students who are not getting reservation are rich only everyone has right to explore their ideas and have right to fulfil their dreams.

In many fields, people are taking advantage of this.

Hello Everyone, As per the discussion I would like to say that reservations should be there,but if anyone says that only the people belonging to the category are getting chance to learn and reserved seats are available for only those.Then I would like to say it is just a big misunderstanding because of our great leader Dr. BR Ambedkar, we are getting the opportunities to learn and put forward our ideas and be one of the parts of these developing nation.

The all thinkings of CASTE is a bullshit thing, which is not the reason to judge that opportunities are not getting to the people who don't fall under categories.

So stop saying that stop reservation, if you want that all must get the chance then government must implement certain rules so that all will get chance to learn.

I am not supporting the reservation in education system. I increase the inequality between the cast. And I think it just increase the Caste-ism in India. I think Reservation based on intelligence not on Cast. It based on Financial condition of the student. Just because of this reservation system many of the student of upper class can not get a admission in good college while getting good marks and not able to get a good job in Government sector. It is only a agenda for increasing a vote bank of these politicians nothing except it.

Good evening friend.

My opinion I would like to reservation for poor students. Not involving caste. Who is student interest for studying higher education govt will support definitely but present situation are different main reason is govt are following is not correct way.

Thank you.

Hey I'm Ishan.

I'm ST and I think we should get these seats because I know the conditions of my caste people still we are far behind. Our family members are laborers, cobblers etc. Some people who are general they make the certificate of ST/SC caste and use them for selections. This is not good we are still poor peoples our peoples live in still mud houses.

This is only back step for country dealing with reservation. If one person is ias and his son study in best school and colleges then why he need reservation. The reservation is boom for sc/st and cruse for general category students.

Hi guys, I am Suraj.

So far want I found in the discussion is most of us are in favour of non-reservation admin policy which will never going to happen because it's not just about you and your SC/ST friend who is gaining advantage over our policy, there are many others who still need to be uplifted and the government facing difficulty to find out who the real needy is and this won't happen until we abolish poor and illiteracy. The education system has to be changed and categorising people based on caste should be removed because we never know the one who missed getting admission in universities based on caste system could have become and this's the major factor which is dragging the development of our nation back. If at all we want to fight against it there are many who are waiting to destroy the peace and create a civil war in our nation which we are afraid of.
