i do agree with teetu..

yes now a days reservation is like a game for all this ones mainly in education also they have but in iits this only proof to eliminante them

i think there should be reservation in iit, but the cutoff should not be kept low for reserved students so that only those students will enter who really have the calliber. i think there should be only 20 mks difference not more than that, otherwise the standard will go down and moreover seats also should be kept low for reserved students. one more point i would like to add, reservation should be given on the basis of family background by seeing the parents income not on the basis of caste certificate because today's scenario is something different. in some of the cases those who belong to any category is not financially that weak.

I dont agree with Teetu bcoz the organisations want only talented people there is no place for reservations if the person skill set is good he deserves to be a part of it.He needs to be good in communicating and have a good network. As you say if they are getting in through some masterkey during the training period the person performance will show a keen result .All that is required is self confidence and must be bold enough to speak.The more u r confident u can get through things easily without any effort.

even i do agree wth teettu if the ppl geting in IIT through reservation then the standrd of IIT will also come down soon if there is resrvation smthing like dat thn the ppl who dsn't hve reservation they wl loose confidnce of gting seat in IIT.. evn i think that ther shldn't reservation or smthng like dat yea if they r financialy weak then scholorshp nd mney shld b provided

I am a teacher at Govt School. I have seen these reservation students family background is still weak.As they are also a major part of India's population Govt. should help them.By financial aid or giving Reservation.Reservation is good.and it depends on Student .If he don hav talent he cant survive there in IIT and his academic records will suffer. And also in a way reservation helps general people.. I will explain.. These OBC's people they used to get gud rank when they used to come in General categor(before OBC reservation bill).So General people had to lose some seats.But now they have a different domain and Generals also hav a different domain... I believe reservation to a limited extent is good

the write point u have said..u have banged on target(the last sentence)

I agree wit it because of all such qutas the quality of education is getting degraded. At least they would have made such a international equal to everyone.

I am of the opinion that IITs should be a pool of talent and should strictly consider the talent rather than reservations. Reservations has been in our system very long... if a person is from minority group, he/she would have definitely availed the benefit of the same in their early stages of eudcation and hence can be considered as creamy layer of group. And hence would have been exposed to the system as well. Providing the reservation benefit every other time will make them used to it rather than working towards competition by utilising their full capability. I feel it would be encouragement of under utilisation of one's capabilities. Definitely agree to Teetu on the assistance, it should be promoted by the institutions either thru NGOs, Banks or any sponsorors etc in form of funding, loans or stipends so that talented but economically deprived students will never have to be compromised. It will not be too taxing for their families.

This is obviously an interesting topic. Keeping aside the reservations yes or no in the IIT 's, letz question ourselves that the student with extraordinary skills and talent, who got seat in IIT and after passing out serving our Nation? If so why quite number of buildings fail ? Why so many people are on their way to funeral grounds due to the quality less treatment of our MBBS doctors? The studies reveal the mouth opening, shy-less facts that NASA has 56% Indians, Indian engineers are the green card holders in some other country and serving them taking into consideration of only the Monetary benefits that they get and set aside the welfare and development of our great nation. So I prefer reservations need to be there to the next creamy layer of the young and tender brains from all sectors of the society and I strongly believe that only Quality education serves nothing but Education with MORALS of HOW TO BE AN ASSET TO INDIA? HOW TO DEVELOP INDIA? HOW TO MAINTAIN QUALITY IN EACH AND EVERY WORK IN INDIA? need to be taught and a proper grooming should be there so that while passing out the only Moto the students should Posses " CAME HERE FOR LEARNING AND WE LEAVE TO SERVE OUR NATION". Every student have the aim of being a GOOD SON, GOOD HUSBAND,GOOD FATHER, GOOD CITIZEN OF INDIA.

When you put yourself in others shoe, then you will understand the reality, All the above who are against the reservation may not be from SC ST OBC etc. 40 % of the Indians are poor (BPL) asper world bank. ----Lot of poor from backword class , so reservations are required---------INDIA Ranked 147th place in Humen development out of 170 countries----- But the funda of reservation to be changed to poor only, many who are non poor but from reservation category will take the advantage, that should be removed

i agree with teetu. reservations give to backward people in study time only .dont' give ranks,jobs ....
