• There is no reservation granted on the basis of religion in the Central
educational institutions at the national level, although reservation has been
extended to religious minorities in some states.

Conclusion: The issue of reservation has faced strong opposition from the
unreserved categories and has been a major cause of disagreement between the
reserved and the non-reserved. Intellectuals believe that reservation is the
biggest enemy of meritocracy. This system of relaxed entry criteria is
compromising on the quality of education. It is promoting and inflating moderate
merits and thus compromising on quality talent. There are arguments that
reservation system is a compromise on merit and thus quality. Some propose
that the system of relaxed entry criteria should be replaced by offering financial
aid and support to the underprivileged but deserving candidates only. This could
help in uplifting the backward classes along with maintaining the merit quality.
Compromising on merit the name of equality is not the right approach as it
compromises on the capabilities on deserving candidates.
While there is constant opposing of the reservation system but the unreserved
categories, there are classes that are the neediest and are not able to take
advantage of the provision because of the lack of awareness. The creamy layer
enjoys most of the benefits of this provision.
