IIT FACTS-

50% of the reserved seats of the IITs remain vacant (even the much lower entry marks were not secured by the students.)
25% of those who joined were forced to quit. They were unable to complete the 4 yr course even in 6 yrs.


NSSO points23.5% college seats already with OBC's. Why the need for reservation if they are already securing these seats by merit?

Parliamentary committee on welfare of SC & ST said-

IN DU between 1995-2000 50% UG SC unfilled
66% UG ST unfilled

Sukhdev Thorat chairman UGC- At higher education levels 1.2 lakh seats of reserved category are vacant. At the same time 40% of reserved category teaching staff posts remain unoccupied.

Hindustan Times- 16% seats in higher education are occupied by both SC ST put together whereas the Quota offered by the govt. is 22.5%. (Therefore 33% seats are wasted.)

Where is the need for these reserved seats to be increased, if they are going to waste as it is? Is this the correct use of the taxpayer's money?
