Competition to intensify for IITs and IIMs seats

Competition for seats to get into the premier Technology and Management institutes of India, it is learnt is going to get more intense in the coming year(s). The latest spur on the competition is from governments renewed vigour to implement Mandal's recommendations. One in every two seats would be taken by quota or reservation, leaving behind a meagre number in the open category which is consumed by merit.

I just fear the day, when the reservation system would be extended to infringe fundamental rights of all citizens.
