Name : Animesh Jha
Subject: Is Reservation in IITs/IIMs Justified?
Message : Quota Reservation was introduced in the constitution of India with an aim of the upliftment of the backward less priveleged class.

The Government has proposed quota for Other Backward Castes(OBC) in 20 central funded universities,which includes IITs and IIMs.This will take the total reservation in such colleges to 49.5%. The decision of the Central Govt. to implement the recommendations of the Mandal Commission, and increase reservations for SC/ST/OBC to 49.5% is debatable.

The only reservation should be for financially backward. This way, more brilliant students get a chance to make it big and, no doubt, our country will be benefiting from it. Caste, creed and tribe should not be a decisive factor in at least this premier institutes. Reservation for financially backward people is justified. Those who are brilliant in studies but can’t afford higher education should be given a chance.
