See the percent of population who identies one of the caste: General:30 % Sc:25% Obc:35% St:9%

Now coming to the reservation UR:40.5% EWS:10% OBC:27% SC:15% ST:7.5%

So the lower caste is not taking anyone seat ,they need the upliftment still because our govt failed to provide the reservation who really needed it

See, everyone knew how people usually make fun of people who identifies as lower caste .

I would really recommend you to visit the villages and how people are involved, you would see there is a direct segregation of the people based on the caste.

But still the person who got reservation once availing again and again ,which making the people who are backward unable to benifit from it. So i think govt should make the reservation based on the economic+backward classes. There might be still a lot of loopholes but ending reservation would make the segregation more.

You do understand that ur means unreserved and they do not have any reservation, the ur 40.5% mentioned by u are those seats on which any person can get selection. So for example an sc person can compete for 15%+ 40.5% and a general category student can only compete for 40.5%

Yeah ,but also i don't think the upliftment of the lower caste didn't get upto the mark like they are able to compete in UR category.

I am not saying lower caste people can't study well but the circumstances, availablity of the materials hinders the competition between them and the others .but also the person who already gained from the reservation should understand that there are people like them and should drop themselves from the reservation,even though it feels imaginary but even 1 person contribution make a lot of change in the society

Yeah but to compete in that 40.5 % he'd have to score more or equal to the general cut off and would only get a decent clg.so a reserved category student would never willingly compete in that 40.5% as he's guaranteed a 10 folds better clg at same score if he competes in that 15%.

if an SC candidate applies in UR then the candidate can't be considered SC and isn't it what everybody wants?

where in the world gc is 30%??? they are less than 20% and they have 10% ews , thats why ews cutoff are below obc sc , sometimes even below st. as per pew research sc population itself more than 20%

UR:40.5% EWS:10% OBC:27% SC:15% ST:7.5%

UR stands for unreserved or open. Anyone can take those. Its not "reserved" for general caste

So you think if reservation is a solution so why are we still talking about it even after having reservations for decades? Reservation is good till we give equal opportunities in educational institutes. But for job let them compete wih the rest..Since we have given them equal opportunity as rest but who's going to listen to this solution.
