Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Reservations nowadays are promoting inequality instead of equality. It has become a huge ground of injustice. The reservations are baseless now. The education should be made cheaper for spreading it to the backward sections of the society instead of providing reservations. And the ultimate sufferers are the derserving candidates. The logic is simple. The deserving should get the chance. No matter whether he is a sc or st or obc. They too can study and fight with the general category candidates and secure a seat in the best of the institutions on the basis of their merit. So I totally criticise the reservation system in higher education. A persons caste must not decide his future rather his hardwork and dedication should!

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.

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.

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,

This is very sensitive topic. As student belong to lower caste think it should be kept continued & students belong to higher caste wants to finish it.

I also want to finish it. I think concessions should given on the basis of income not on the basis of caste. The students who belong to lower caste are getting concessions for both marks as well as fees. If a guy is brilliant enough then he won't need any help for getting admission in good collage. In almost all schools & collages there are different merit lists for open & reserved students which is not fair.

If we stop this, then & then only mission 20-20 is possible & India will be a one of the developed country.

Thank you.

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.

Reservation is a system which has been running for a long time. That's why our country is not growing because there is only one reason behind this cast reservation. 80% of the talented student is getting a good mark and they have also good knowledge however they are not getting a better opportunity in our country and some students are moving towards abroad and those country is taking advantage of it. As we all aware about that there are many names who invented the various thing.

Finally, I would like to say the government should put a ban on cast reservation asap by doing this it will also create a good picture in youngsters mind but it's not possible the only one reason politics.

Reservation in higher education only alternative for social equality, I think that the system of reservation which is in India is sometimes may not necessarily cause the, suppose the student who came from the poor background but he not able to pay the fees for particular higher education because of financial problems in this situation the loss of knowledge of that student who have really appropriate for it so I think the reservation depends upon the quality of that student not cast of that student hence by this way the students who have the knowledge a lot of which is really required for developing India or their carrier so reservation depends on skill of student.

Reservation should never be a part of education system. Admit to the universities should be given only on the merit basis. To assure social equality, backward classes should be provided assistance in the form of redemption from payment of tuition fee, should be provided with free books and hostel facility in the campus.

A general category student finds it very difficult to get the admit in government colleges, to find government jobs etc. As a result, students apply in foreign universities and prefer to work over there which we call as BRAIN DRAIN.

A category student continues to enjoy the reservation even though his family income may be more than 7L per annum.
