just in.... govt plannin 2 reserve 50% of seats in colleges like iit, iim n lotsa du colleges.... wonder where we r heading to... its newez tough, what wid ppl gtn a 90% failin to gt admissions in reputed colleges. guess if the govt goes ahead wid their plans, we'd all either hv 2 convert to sc/st/obc, or plainly luk outside india fr gud colleges given the fact that colleges like iits n iims might nt be wat they r at d moment... quite inevitable if they have 2 choose 45 percenters ovr 90 percenters... so much for the government's "strives fr excellence" in the field of education. hrd minister put the blame on manmohan singh, which if it is true is such a shame, as he is awez perceived 2 be sum1 above petty vote bank politics of caste, creed and colour. nice way of screwin ur image up in the eyes of youth tho... nice way of maskin ovr ur incapabilities to provide the backward classes a fair chance at education... n then bypassin them into a stream wich they might nt be able to handle... this is for those who solely depend on quotas etc n nt those meritorious students who exist in every strata of society. on the risk of soundin deranged/hypersensitive n far-fetched, this can lead to a serious employment problem later, with the degree holders being well incapable and thus ineffective, and the worthy candidates who were denied f their rights doing nothin bt resentin the government and maybe the scs n sts too. cuttin back to present, this issue might pose a serious threat to the autonomous and impartial nature of these deemed universities.... and until and unless the govt doesnt wnt outraged youth turnin against em, well maybe jus keep this decision on the backnurner n do wat would actually benefit the people of these categories... ensure they get a decent if nt d best education in schools, n leave the task f judging who deserves to be a part of d creme de la creme of indias colleges to the admn of these colleges only. is arjun singh listenin?
