I.I.T. Guwahati ( Had my counselling here for JEE 2006 ) HAD RESERVATION WORKED, WE WOULD HAVE SEEN RESULTS AFTER 60 YEARS OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION. THE FACT THE GOVERNMENT STILL USES RESERVATION CLEARLY SHOWS THAT RESERVATIONS HAVE FAILED. THE SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS IMPLEMENT RESERVATIONS WHICH THEY USE AS A MASK TO COVER ITS UTTER FAILURE IN THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR...
JEE(IIT)- One of the toughest exams one faces. Just looking at sheer numbers will make you shiver. About 300,000 people test their skills on the same day, of which only 5,000 make it to the merit list of JEE. A percentile of above 98 will open your door to get admitted in the most prestigious institute in India.
Well the point is, IIT's are considered to be centres of excellence, but are they??
After the reservations are implemented(which will be pretty soon, the pace of execution of non-developmental plans is very fast in India) one in every 2 student in our "temples of excellence" will be from the reserved category. Do you think the MNC's and the other top-notch companies will still make a beeline during placements in IIT's? The private sector looks for profit on its investment, and if half the students are not upto the mark, why would they do social service and recruit them? I'm not saying the students from the reserved class fare badly, but this is based on the data provided by the IIT's themselves. Most of the students who fail to get the passing grades in semester exams are from the reserved class.
Initially, when the IIT's were established way back in the 1950's, the campus was designed aesthetically ensuring enough greenery. For implementing reservation, the IIT's are building new hostels, classrooms and labs. And ever thought what will be lost in the process? The parks& the greenery the campuses today boast of. These centres will become jungles of concrete(quite like our metropolitan cities) with almost no space for recreational activities.

Hey, nice thoughts on a burning topic, especially among engineering aspirants and undergrads. Anyways, don't really think that the government cares about all this stuff. After all, why would they have implemented reservations in the first place?

Cheers...
One word of advice though.. Try and back up what you say with data.
@ Deep
Yeah obviously the government doesn't care a fig about this. The only thing, our wily politicians care about is satiating their never ending hunger for power.
@ Vineet
Thanks for your advise. I'll take that into consideration for my future posts.
