I don't think that is relevant to the education system still. That is a very small share of Indian student population. 15k/37.4 million.

What do you think about reservation in those institutions?

I'm not indian, so I only see the surface of all the socio-economic issues, some of which go way back -- as far as I know, the reservation issue is highly charged and sensitive (similarly to gender/race issues in the US), and I have no strong opinion on them.

As far as I see, all energy spent railing against the reservation system is better spent improving yourself.

I only mentioned it because you said that the consistent brutal selection process is a feature.

You have approximately 60% seats reserved, the remaining 40% seats are left for everyone else to compete on equal grounds.
