I am with Prof. Gopinath. The Reserved catogory students fail miserably in IITs, in general. There were articles about some students who could not get along in IITs, but I doubt any paid any attention to the articles. These students cannot go any where as they will be rejected by their own community. In IITs the input rate to students is very high, the tough JEE ensures only those who can absorb such high inputs and whose fundamentals are clear can clear not just JEE, but IIT itself. I was an average student in school(never saw a first Division-60% and above), but I did clear the JEE. Today when I look back, my fundamentals where very good. So this is what I tell people who want to clear JEE & join IIT-learn to absorb high rates of input with absolutely clear fundamentals. As regards, the reservation issue it has been kicked up by those who have no responsibilty towards the Nation and its people- their only agenda is hold on to the Chair/Seat. Here I do miss Kanshi Ram-who said no need to give crutches to women in 'Women Reservation' issue. We should learn from the American Black people headed by Martin Luther King Jr. who gave the slogan- We Will Succeed-Ham Honge Kamyab.
