Nature has made every human being same , same IQ, same intelligence for all , no discrimination. We human beings made mistakes by dividing ourselves on the basis of race , skin colour , caste , etc.
Examinations for government jobs , college entry , degree final exams are fixed with qualifying percentage / marks. In all these exams dalit candidates are fixed with low qualifying marks / percentage and rest are fixed with higher qualifying marks. Dalits are given higher age limits and more number of attempts are also given.
Does the dalits have low IQ / intelligence than others ? What are the scientific reasons behind this anamoly?
This practice is human rights violation. Read following articles and please ANSWER.
-40 is the cut-off
You heard it right -40 is the cut-off for reserved category for NEET-PG entrance exam.
It's not about being fair or unfair anymore. It's about being accountable to the citizen of this country.
Imagine being treated by a doctor who scored -40 marks while many deserving future doctors are waiting in line to give another attempt to crack the exam.
I agree Reservation in some places makes sense but everything has a limit to it.
When it comes to CAT, previous year the lowest percentile at which IIM Indore had given admission to a aspirant was 49%ile while a candidate with 99.5 %ile wasn't even given a call.
What do you think. Is reservation really benefitting the nation or it is moving us backward?
NEET cutoff for SCSTOBC is -40. Do you think this is fair to the patients or society ?
NEET cutoff for SCSTOBC is -40. Do you think this is fair to the patients or society ?
These are people who will diagnose, operate, prescribe, and literally decide life or death. If someone couldn’t even cross zero in an entrance exam, what confidence is a patient supposed to have later in him ?
this isn’t about hating anyone. It’s about standards in healthcare. As a patient, why would I voluntarily choose a doctor who entered with massively lower academic requirements and risk my life ?
No political party in their right mind can touch reservations and still expect to win elections. And it seems society is adamant in going to the far ends of reservation instead of coming out of it.
So is there any end to this? Shouldn't the reserved themselves be concerned about such things and ask for different opportunities instead of something that hasn't worked in last 70 yrs.
Give degrees to failed SC-STs: Med varsity

The Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University in Lucknow has urged the Medical Council of India that graduation degrees be granted to SC and ST medical students, who have repeatedly failed to clear the final exams. A few of them have been trying since 1996. Gaurav Saigal reports.
The Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University in Lucknow has urged the Medical Council of India that graduation degrees be granted to SC and ST medical students, who have repeatedly failed to clear the final exams. A few of them have been trying since 1996.
Earlier, about 50 reserved category students blamed the university’s teachers, alleging that they were deliberately giving SC-ST students poor marks.
The move comes only a few months before the assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh where scheduled castes and scheduled tribes constitute 18% of the electorate.
On Monday, a letter from the vice-chancellor of the university — India’s first residential medical university, established in 1905 — Prof DK Gupta, to the MCI read: “As students have failed consecutively on several attempts, they be allowed to have a degree.”
He said a separate passing percentage should be fixed for students belonging to the reserved category, as they get selected with lower qualifying marks through medical entrance.
Although state medical education minister Lalji Verma
said, “I will comment only after going through the documents”, Congress spokesperson Ram Kumar Bhargava said repeated failure of a section of students should be probed.
But Samajwadi Party leader Ambika Chaudhary said, “Once they (students from underprivileged sections) get an opportunity, they must be up to the mark to become doctors.”
