Saving the Unreserved - Reservation System


The joint entrance examination committee recently announced the jee main scores and ranks along with the announcement of JEE advance Cutoff marks. With a lot anticipation among children to get admissions in the top institutes, this year’s cut off was pretty low as compared to last year’s.
While the general’s cut off dropped to 81 from 100 last year’s while it dropped to 49 from 70 ,and 32 from 52, and 27 from 48 for Scheduled Caste , Scheduled Tribe respectively. This year’s cut off brought happiness to students and their parents due to low cutoff. But this maybe an indicating warning about the upcoming problem. Many general category students may have been in good or better colleges if there were no reservations. As these students are exposed to this reservation system so  some of them extensively rely on this in upcoming opportunities in life due to lack of skills.
Like seats in the colleges are reserved, 50% of the government jobs are reserved as well. So that means, if there are 10 vacancies for a job and out of 20 applicants 10  are meritorious general category students, so despite of there outstanding resumes at least 5 jobs would be offered to remaining reserved class applicants. So our government officials may lack the required potential. I'm NOT saying they are incompetent. What I'm saying is that even the competent ones refuse to work efficiently because of this complacency.
On 23rd May 2015 Violence erupted in the state of Rajasthan when police fired on protesters belonging to the Gurjar Caste who were demanding a higher schedule tribe status, instead of their current OBC (Other Backward Class) status. Atleast 37 people were killed, and a lot of state property damage was reported. But one thing that never got highlighted was that on the next day the biggest engineering exam was to be held, JEE Advance ( an exam that could change your fortune), but unaware of the protest, many children failed to reach the examination centre as lot of trains and roads were diverted. Who will give the justice to those students who have been preparing for it for last 2-3 years or those who dropped to prepare failed to reach the centre due to bunch of people demanding their reservations, it pretty well shows how educated or well deserving are they, and then they need seats in the govt colleges.

Reservation shouldn’t be done on the basis of caste system, it should be based on financial basis and will benefit more people.Earlier it used to be that the SC/ST people were the depressed classes and financially poor. But their situations have now been improved and hence should be given equal status and treatment like the General Category, or else the General Category people will need to be get special reservations due to lack of their reservation.

India - My vision

India on 15th August 2016 marked its 69th independence day. A lot happened in these 7 decades, whether it be politics, people, sports, literature,  art, science and technology. Everything just got changed all through these years. But still India is not among the developed countries of the world. The gap between the rich and the poor became more wider. The education sector of India developed a lot, obtained a lot of recognition around the world, many Indians are leaders of prominent companies around the globe, but still India's Primary education and Secondary schooling has always been neglected. Here the main focus is to obtain a degree. Without degree a person cannot be recognized. For eg. If i have knowledge, and I do an invention, then everyone would just ask " Which degree or qualification do you have".Failing to do so, means you haven't achieved anything. NO degree, No invention. Who will give answer to them?  Who is responsible for their current situation?
