Rising quotas a bane for the meritorious

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Where do students in the general category go when there is 60 per cent reservation? The situation for those in the general category is appalling; they may score high marks in competitive examinations and still not get admission in good institutes or jobs due to the ever expanding number of reserved seats. Vijay Mitra, founder and chief executive officer of a renowned company working with students, said, “Reservation is a destructive move for a growing nation.” Only 40 per cent of seats/jobs will be left for the general category and that will lead to further stress for students, he said. Mr Arun Kumar, who deals with compensation and benefits to employees in the corporate sector, said, “Reservation has become a white elephant and become more disruptive, impacting the very people whom it wants to help. This is depriving the actual talent pool of hard working students who are not able to get admission to pursue higher studies.
