Here's a glimpse of how students took to social networking sites to express their anger, stress and views on the reservation system:

Ashish Singh: “This is not fair with the general category students. Can you please get the reservation system banned or something?”

Sid: “There is nothing left to say now. Whatever hopes we had, reservations ruined it all. It's a dirty systm, dirty politics. They differentiate between education and talent. This isn’t fair!”

Samar: “Dropped an year, even then couldn't qualify for appearing in JEE advanced. Last year I scored 86 and this year 100. I don't deserve to be alive. I wasted ?80,000 of my parents. I wish some heavy vehicle runs over me tomorrow morning when I go to walk and end my life. I don't have guts to commit suicide.”

Tanmay: “47 for ST & 115 for General... Are ST's all BPL(Below Poverty Line) and all General students. son of Bill Gates? What's the logic behind it? Rich people are plenty in SC ST and most of the poor fall in the General category. What about them.... Many talented General catgory students are born to do business in India because of this pathetic reservation system”.

Sachin : “ I wish I not born as a general category student. I would have been selected for JEE advanced if I was an ST or an SC”.

Hey Gyz. Reservations apart. Butwhy is it that there are so many scholarship schemes fo sc/st and not for generals. and above that there is even discriminations in the annual fees in the colleges, ie now the fees are doubled for generals (ie 1 lk per annum) while still the same for Sc/ST(20K)

A candidate of general class, Scored 113 marks. Still looking for other career options. Father didn't say much about that but looks at me as I'm a proclaimed offender. Alas ! I would be of SC or ST class.
