Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Reservation is only for the poor people who deserve not for the people of downtrodden caste who are rich. Now in present education system, students get seats based on their caste but not on their talent. This system should be changed.

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 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.

Reservation only given to those who are really poor not to the caste wise.

In my opinion, reservation should be on economical basis, not on class/caste and religion.

The reservation should be given to deserving one who registered by government of India under BPL.

The other concern is about reserving the peoples who lives in forest. A special reservation should be given to these peoples because they are backward.

Higher education reservation lacks the country in the backward side. If you give opportunities to deserving one, our country would be a developed country very soon.

Thanks.

In my view, in persent situation reservation system became evil and it is escalating across the country such Haryana Jat Quota Stir, Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti in Gujarat and Maratha Aandolan Maharashtra, all third due to politicisation of reservation political parties make promises to particular class (mostly majority community) to enlist them in reservation list to only ensure their victory, actually these parties have no purpose to upliftment of backward classes. In fact this present system of reservation is based on cast which is not fair because every cast comprises both poor and rich we all know that a brahiman who fall in general category is very poor but is being deprived all benefits under reservation similarly at the other side a rich people who falls in lower cast is enjoying all benefits in fact he/she don't require reservations apart from it some people making false document with the help of corrupt officials thus the benefit of reservation is not reaching to right person there should be only one category that is poor we need to review the current system and list those people in reservation list who are really poor no matter caste and religion he/she belongs. All politicians know its bad effect wellfully but don't dare to touch it because of political reasons.


Res in higher-edu deprived real talent to get admission in good institution that later results in halt in county's growth. If govt is relly concerned about poor it should ensure easy access to poor for edu by setting up edu infrastructure in rural and remote areas rather than reservation.

Equity is the basis of reservation policy to bring equality. Reservation gives concession to those who have suffered oppression through generations. The problem with education in India is that it offers free education up to the age of 15 but the level of Primary education in government schools is so bad that children who study there can never compete with those who study in private schools. Till this disparity in standard of education is not addressed, need for reservation in higher education will remain.

Reservations should be provided only on the basis of financial condition of a person, not on caste base, if government wishes to support people on caste basis they could open coaching institutes to train them instead of reserving a seat which they don't deserve.

According to my opinion, education benefits must be provided not on basis of reservation but on the basis of his financial conditions, because all those reserved are not poor. It is really a noteworthy point. In current system, one who is suffering is normal person. New reservations are adding day by day and the entire for them are reducing. A time will come when they will have only 10% of total seats in any exam or job. I don't want to hurt anybody. But if you have the potential and you're are lacking money, then government should help you, not in that case you are a reserved category.

In education, reservation should be in terms of fee concession not in admission or jobs.

India is still developing country because of this factor also.

Other countries across the globe are giving Jobs to DESERVE candidates, here in Our country jobs and facilities are in hand of RESERVE candidates.
