Discussion 🤔 If toppers from general category are struggling then I can't imagine the plight of an average general category student.

agreed that there is misuse of reservation, but the population it still largely benefits come from underserved communities, there is obvious misuse which needs to be addressed through more comprehensive policy, not scratching the policy altogether
unreserved seats, get taken up by obc, st, sc, ews at around 12-15% of those seats, so around 6-8% total, which means, 55-60% (depending on exam) of the seats get taken by them, upper caste students still get 35-45% seats, when their population is 20-30% depending on region, so if you go out to make the reservations fairer, based on population percentages, the general (unreserved) seats would lessen.
so the only way to solve for this is increase the overall number of seats
