Talent Uncompromised

IITJEE an examination conducted every year by the IIT group to test the best for admission to undergardutae courses.The 27 percent reservation quota rulling for the OBC was to be implemented by IITs too.The student of the elite colleges soon sprang up to action and protest and peach march was organized all over the country.Many student union were against this,the only arguement they had against this was,the policy of providing reservation will be a compromise with the merit.After intense debate supreme court finally gave the green signal.
This year the resevation policy was implemented and admission were made under this quota.The IIT released the marks scored by the first and
 the last candidate admitted under each quota,lets have a look at it.
Total score of last candidate admitted in general category is 180 and that of OBC is 8 short of 180.
So has the system compromised with the merit,or the concept of equality has been shattered by the stones of politics.
I dont want to argue that who is deriving the fruits of reservation or caste should not form the basis of reservation.
I am happy from the fact that still IIT has not made any compromise with the talent.
