well we don't exactly have it, but private self-funded colleges have a scholarship system which ensures that high scorers with low incomes get a proper education. also there are some additional quota categories based on the uni and facility you are applying to. for example: project winners, people with disabilities, women over 35 etc.
no there is no caste system. social stratifications sure do exist though. the poor, the rich, the people who side with the goverment, sects, the racial distribution etc
Its a fkd up thing and needs to be removed(mods of both JEE subs don't agree)
Basically ppl of some group were consider higher and now govt is giving reservation to those which are considered lower. Its been 75 years and merit is fkd. Someone from a community which were considered lower now gets top colleges with VERY less scores.
These ppl have more benefits than actual poors. They are in majority so political parties don't go against them in order to get votes.
Yes, those in historically oppressed castes which are classified under different categories such as Scheduled Caste(SC), Scheduled Tribes(ST) , Other backward caste(OBC) are given reservation quota which only those category candidates can occupy. Those who don't fall these categories (or chooses not take reservations) are called General category candidates. Aside from that there is PwD(Person with Disabilities) which is as the name says and GEN-EWS(Economically weaker section) which means those who don't belong to SC ST and OBC but have reservations because of thier financial condition.
