Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Hai, this is Anji.

I think reservation is not necessary in education because there is a lot of student's who are directly and indirectly affected in their studies, the govt will support the backward classes offering scholarships, fee reimbursement but not by seat allocation.

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.

Hello friends!

Education is very important to everyone. Reservation is one thing that was created earlier to bring out the equality in our society but this hasn't accomplished till date. In many parts of country, still untouchability and other evil things are being practiced. Number of seats however must be decreased that are on caste basis and more seats should be reseved on economical basis so that poor people can also get opportunities.

Reservation on caste basis can't be removed till the date every Hindu is treated like Hindu. There should not be any division of caste! Everyone must have one identity.

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 in the education system is a very wrong thing because of reservation merit students lose their opportunities.

If the government want each student will learn with equality then the government should ban on the reservation.

Instead of giving reservation on the cast basis give the reservation on the current economic scale of family.

Who is really poor give the concessions in fees not in the percentage or in quota?

Hello friends, my name is Shivam Dwivedi.

Today, I am here to discuss the reservation in India.

In my opinion, reservation should be based on the income of the family not be based on the caste system.

Many talented person or student not be selected in any government sector just because of reservation.

Because of lower cast person get minimum marks and easily get the job and in another hand, upper cast student get higher marks but not selected just because of reservation.

In my opinion, selection of student in government, exams should not be based on the reservation so our country becomes a great country in the world.

Reservation in higher education will never be an alternative for social equality. It creates differences between the higher caste and lower caste. All people have same blood and flesh nothing differs here then why should a term reservation create difference between humans. I personally hate reservations since they act as barriers for healthy and friendly relationships between people.

Due to such misconceptions inequality is developing. INDIA WILL REMAIN AS A DEVELOPING NATION IF WE DO NOT ABOLISH THESE RESERVATIONS. We all should act against this criteria since rich are getting richer and poor are remaining poor in these aspect. The people with higher reservation should not be considered as the ones who are wealthy and lower caste are not poor. If we oppose this we can see INDIA as the THE HIGHLY DEVELOPED COUNTRY in a short span of time.

It is good that the people talk about merit, equality, giving equal education, has the time come to remove reservation? The answer is no.

1) I understand the pain the non-reservation people feel but imagine it happened with our forefathers, it still happens with us when people taunt us for taking admission via reservation. Then Is your pain felt for one generation equal to pain, discrimination done to us for generations?

2) People who talk about merit should ask their parents. How many marks did they get in school. I know many managers, general managers, CEO from upper caste who can not utter single word in English. When we started studying vernacular medium, you guys started studying in English medium and when we started studying in English medium you went to CBSE and ICSE, and talk about merit based on marks. In IIT JEE 2013 main entrance test, top 20% of the students from each board are eligible. For ICSE cut off was 91%. For CBSE it was 81% and state boards it was 68-75%.

Is it the equality? Is it the merit. What if let say the state board guy who gets 78% does not get into IIT, will he/she get the seat in other colleges before ICSE and CBSE students. Is it merit. You rich father little brats. Go to rich school and pay money to get high scores. In schools like dhirubai ambani international school, aarya vidya mandir the lowest marks scored by student is 95% percent, then these guys come to state college for HSC and based on absolute score get into colleges.

WHERE IS EQUALITY?/ WHERE IS MERIT? Does it mean that the license of talent is given to only to such colleges.

3) When there was no reservation. How much of innovation happened in India. Where there any doctors in villages.

Grow up guys, by mugging and pasting the answers on answer sheet you and your forefathers have got marks and jobs. At least now there is a change happening.

Indian government spends crores of money on IIT and IIM's. How many IITians go to research. Most of them work in consulting, finance. Nothing else. (Don't give excuse that they are creating jobs.).

IIM's are fresher's factories for which people take 1-2-3 years drop to prove their aptitude and talent. I mean have you ever seen person in Harvard, Stanford who has taken drop for GMAT exams.

About people who take advantage of reservation (including people who forge the caste, income certificates) , they should be punished, taunted and not others who actually deserve it.

In the 21st century when we are dreaming of INDIA as a "DEVELOPED NATION" reservation in higher education should be removed. For social equality the government can give facilities and incentives in other aspects but not in education. As a result of reservation, many talented students are not getting a chance to study in many reputed institutions this ultimately results in the loss of human resource for a nation. Selection in higher education should be purely on merit basis. We are thinking that by giving reservation we are maintaining social equality but I completely oppose this idea I think we are creating inequality because we are giving a chance to a low standard reserved category student to pursue higher education simultaneously causing the loss of talent of a high standard unreserved category student.

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