OBC Quota and Premier Institutes

The much-debated 27 per cent OBC quota will be implemented at prestigious educational institutions like IITs and IIMs nationwide. Do yiu think that the SC judgement will only affect the brand value of the premier institutes?

Vamsi says: i am not against people in the lower strata of the society getting opportunities to study and make a living for themselves. so, based on this the judgement of SC is a welcome. the premier institutes increasing seat to accomidate them is quite logical. but care must be taken not to dilute the standard of education in these 'premier institutes' as they are pride of india !


Lostpatrol53 says: I am against reservation and segregation of any kind.


Busybee says: A 5% reservation would be ok, we can live with that. assuming that 5% of incompetants generated every year wont kills us. We can count on the few good ones to take things forward.. 27% is too much..


Angelzfear says: A say force the government to create enough educational institutions so that quality education can be provided to all. Every year around 1.5 lac people appear for CAT... create 100 IIMs with 300 seats...produce 30000 IIM grad every year. Resource to be utilized? What is the money being collected in the name of educational cess being used for? All details posted here : cplash.com/post/Reservations-once-again


Ruggedboyz says: frankly if u ask me i have a more orthodox approach then an progressive one when i hear of the quota issue which is mostly to calm my nerves for practically i am appalled with the decision on the other hand i would like to think it is more of fate then ability or merit that decides what you do in india .


Niceguy251 says: I am all for reservation why 27% but maybe 50% but with following RESERVATIONS : It should be only for economically backward as it will definitely cover SC / ST / OBC . It has to be merit based. This is what needs focus. We can not have professionals like Doctors or Engineers who have just scraped through the examinations. What we need to do is that give say 10% allowance on marks. Let me explain this. If seats are 100, so open category seats are at present 73, if 73rd person has secured 82% bring it down to 72% for reserved category and all those from that category who are above that be taken to fill 27 seats. If any seats are left then it can to back to merit list one by one following the same principle till all seats are filled. This way we do afford opportunity to those who need it without comprosing quality. We should try to spread education facilities to all so competetion can be fair. For this fee concessions may be given to needy class. AND LET US NOT POLITISE THIS ISSUE.
