why do we come across lower cutoffs for reserved categories?????
that only shows their backwardness.. infact, it justifies the case of reservation IMHO..
but, 27% is too much for OBCs..
i wud give
5% to STs and 10% each to SCs and OBCs.. the remaining 5% can be PC and other quotas..
IMHO the percentage of reserved seats shudnt exceed 30...

Joe, another myth to confront is the pass percentage for the various categories. It is usually claimed that many (implying most) students who make it to institutes like the IITs through reserved seats, struggle to match the standards. This is also a widely distributed theory with hordes of anecdotal 'evidence' but little statistical support.

i got a OC call from IIM-I.. now, after the implementation of the OBC quota, they asked me for family income details.. i did give them the real details, since i am not that interested in joining.... i cud have cheated them easily.. now i am in OC waiting list..
i have serious doubts on how they will take the fake non-creamy layer people..
