Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

The reservation should be on the basis of the actual economical condition of the person. It should be removed from the basis of caste. The poor should get the reservation only.

Reservation should be given on the basis of the economic condition of the family and not on the basis of their caste.

In my opinion, reservation is one of the waste things to apply in education sector because there is no need of caste in education, in fact, it is killing the chances of merit people, but for better India in future the reservations must be banned in education and finally it is not at all alternative and moreover it creates a social inequality among the students.

Reservation should be purely on merit basis. Imagine a person becomes gets seat for MBBS purely on reservation quota with very low marks. What will happen when he becomes a Doctor with his limited knowledge. This is the game played by politicians over the years and it has been passed over for generations. Come on we are in the 21st Century. We want economic reforms but want to stick to the age-old parochial mentality of reservation policy. There was a time when so-called casteism was prevalent in India but things have changed and most of them have become an upper class and the so-called brahmins have become economically poor and they do not get any seat even though they come on the merit list because of the reservation policy. It is high time India (of course the politicians) come out of this parochial view. I have seen many deserved lost opportunities in good education institutes because of the quota system. Politicians who advocate casteism in this era should be eliminated from politics.

I think reservation should not be banned now because there are people still backward in certain communities they need education, work, clothing for their survival and to compete with this generation, but there are people (SC/ST) enjoying the government funds like wine they should be removed from the reservation.

The term reservation came into the picture to encourage downtrodden to take education and make progress. But now this practice has become a curse for India. Reservation, now, is hampering India's progress and development by stealing chances of deserved and giving them for free to less deserving people. Reservation now is killing the real talent. If Constitution says equality then why is it contradicting itself by the term RESERVATION? Reservation on the economic basis is always acceptable as its would really benefit the needy. Because one thing is fact NOT EVERY GENERAL IS RICH AND NOT EVERY SC/ST/OBC IS POOR.

In my opinion, reservation should be stopped. I have no words to say about disadvantages of reservation faced by OC students/citizens of India in each and every field mainly education, jobs. As I am fed of reservation. As an OC, I took the decision not to vote.

Hi, friends.

In my opinion, reservation should be given to those who actually are not capable of fulfilling their basic requirements and are poor. Reservation should be in terms of class wise, not caste wise.

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.

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.
