Reservation in B schools

What do people exactly mean when they are referred to as ‘minority candidates’? Has it something to do with being other than the ‘general’ category?
 

Apparently yes. Minority candidates are often considered the lucky lot that thrives on the crutches of reservation. Since times immemorial, the subject of reservation has been subjected to a lot of flak. Battles have been raged to slash it off the system. Yet, it continues to ride on the backs of our leaders. As omnipresent as it is, chucking it out of the system calls for nothing less than a revolution.
 

The question that next arises is the area that the metaphorical monster has penetrated- engineering colleges, Delhi University Colleges, and to top it all even MBA colleges, too. It might come as a surprise to those who never knew top B schools in India under the dark purview of reservation. It’s surprising, as well as sad that institution as prestigious as IIMs have not remained untouched.
 

Yes, minority students do have an advantage over general students. A massive advantage that weaves a huge difference between what is done what is ought to be done in the education system. National level government B schools like IIMs, IIFTs, NITIE, FMS, TISS have over 27% reservation for OBCs, over 15% for scheduled classes, 7.5% for Scheduled tribe, 3% for differently abled, and the rest, quite obviously, for general. The distribution, quite inarguably, is disturbing.
 

Apart from the above mentioned categories, that of LGBT also gets the tick mark of being the minority. While Indian B schools support reservation, International B schools are relatively untouched from the malaise, as some call it. Reservation is done to bring equality into the system, but what it ends up doing is robbing the system of equality. A big divide between the general and the minority speaks volumes about it.
