I have somewhat better idea, which can bring both the protagonist and antagonist to a common conclusion, i.e. India can have separate IITs, IIMs and AIIMS for the reserved section, these institute should have quality standards similar to the older premium institutes. This would be definitely justice to both the GENERAL and the RESERVED category. Also the reservation should be done after having a close scrutiny of the income of the family.

Yes yes. Everyone should be against reservation. Due to this reservation children are taking advantage and this is followed only in India. They are taking undue advantage that is they are not even feeling stressed while writing exams like MAINS and ADVANCE for IIT, they are saying casually that they will get a rank in those exams. Now, we the general caste people are feeling that if we were born as a member of SC/ST caste then what will be our future.

We should totally oppose this so that we will have a developed nation as other countries like US.

Checking on the basis of family background it's difficult. I feel that if SC or ST want to succeed they must try their level best.

So, I think reservation in higher education it is used for social equality.

The reservation has become an inevitable part of life. Why is it so important? Reservation in higher education is like placing an order for water in Amazon. It ruins the importance of education system and degrades the self-confidence of merit candidates. Reservation is never a constrain for social equality. Indian education system has been producing scapegoats since IITs. How can social equality be attained? Uplifting the standard of education and evaluation system plays a vital role. One nation One Education system is mandatory for excellence.

No meaning for reservation if it is provided based on caste system. It will bring sweet fruits if it is based on economy of the person.

Friends.

I want present reservation should be changed. Separate & solid basic education be provided to socially & economically backward class to compete with others. Who have availed these benefits for 2 generation be excluded. Only genuine people to get reservation benefits. Student belonging to general merit class be provided seats upto last reserved seats equally.

First seats be allotted to all the meritorious students irrespective of caste|areas. General merits peoples pays huge personal tax in lakhs of crores for national welfare&it is gross injustice to deny them seats in higher education.

So abolish reservation do scientific survey before offering reservation. All certificates provided to claim benefits should be counter checked by authorities strictly. Reservation to be provided only on the basis of merit only.

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 50 s & 60 s & 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.

No, I am not thinking like that, because reservation should be based on the economical background.

Hi friends! I'm Sreevignya.

Reservation is needed for higher education because everyone is equal in society.

There is no comparison between SC, ST castes and OC caste. So everyone should get an equal education.
