it can be nothing but his personal opinion abt what he want to do in such situation. Have u ever seen any recruiter coming to a camus and picking up only genaral category and ignoring reserved category outrightly. No they do not because they have their own tests which will filter ppl once again .. and if a reserved category candidate is able to perform better than a general category guy, recruiter has full right to prefer that candidate only as he performed better in a test which is customized to the recruiter's requirement while the another one performed better in a general test(whose significance cannot be denied but is definitely given a second place bcoz of not being customized to the employer)
So no need to be complacent .. it is indeed a setback to all aspirants as there is substantial stuff to lose.
