Quota vs Merit: Is education all about academic excellence?

On our weekly debate, students faceoff debating whether education is focussed on academic excellence. Should there be a quota for sports students when getting into colleges? Or is that unfair to students who get in on merit? Also on the show, a special look from around the country at those who are first time voters in general elections.

What i think is that the quota should not be there. If someone is good in sports let him get his seat in the sports field. Why to opt quota in engineering and so on...

[@woqalora]

Exactly

[@ArvindYadav-vy3lt]

This kind of debate enrich our knowledge and vision

[@anitamishra7225]

Dis kinda &

[@jyotigoswami6770]

I agree

[@Aarya119]

Its not only about sports its also about ST SC quata

[@beautiful.monster.10m9]

Yeah budy....This is the problem of every single person belongs to general cast

[@fitsurvivor4781]

Yes. SC/ST quota should be removed now. All of them have become rich now.

[@Monster-pq3bz]

Fit Survivor sorry to interfere but, it is on the basis of literacy of all cast.... That's why jaats and gurjars are in obc...but they are wealthy,......Actually Wealth is not an issue... The SC St obc category has made on the basis of literacy.

[@Vedrajrm]

Fit Survivor that’s because you only see the rich ones. There are a lot of poor people who deserve the quota. Btw, there are 100s of divisions in each caste. For example in SC alone there are 70-100 classes, you only see the people who are in the top 10 class the lesser class are discriminated by the regular people and their own caste.

[@ssusr3203]

Exactly, well said @Vishal Keshri It's good if there's special reservation between destitute and the riches.

[@santanupatra5092]

Yes sports quota is totally unfair for physics honours. If you are best in Sports so you can see like sports management studies.

कब तक कलेक्टर जज और सरकारी अधिकारियों के बच्चों का रिजर्वेशन मिलता रहेगा और गरीब मेधावी सवर्ण छात्रा शोषित होते रहेगे

Garibz r talented

[@manikanthan4693]

The cut-off mark for SC/ST/BC is being increased every year and is closely matching to mark for Genaral quota. This is injustice and unfair in bringing reserve candidates under high cut-off mark. They should be brought bunder general quota and under privileged students should be considered under reserve quota in order to exercise social justice.

[@kumardeep1125]

Getting admission in sports quota is even not so easy as the young lad assumes it to be

Not like that academic is more on career not on sports

[@rahyam-sd9tm]

Humour behind their intelligence makes this debate more interesting, knowledgeable and inspiring....

[@debtanudatta598]

The matter of fact is that you come either for or against something here and you leave confused which one you should choose.

[@vishalpatel7105]

aal the people are actually not emphasized multiple talent so they should have given opportunity for what they are smart in .there shouldn't be any unmatchable level coming in their way

[@sachinmishra8191]

It's fabulous debate mallika has put her point very candidly and in wise manner

[@anitamishra7225]

Fab

[@harshinibharanidharan9656]

My opinion is that, people join IITs and IIMs to study. Studies is the sole reason isn't it? So why promote someone who doesn't fit in that category? A sports person is undoubtedly hardworking. But if he/she is a sports person then why give admission for them in colleges and universities which are know for their education degrees?

[@rahulindia4952]

if the topic of the debate would be "scientist & innovation" vs " sports celebs & entrainment" then I think everyone will be clear which is more beneficial for the world.

[@anitamishra7225]

[@empty8537empty]

Sports and entertainment are great consumers of science and innovation.. so hope u can understand the importance of both

[@shahzadpurambala3268]

Please one debate on women reservation (quota) if you have dare. 🙏

[@saicharangarrepalli9590]

In my opinion, instead of having different schools for sports, arts and of course education, why can't we have a single place with different departments? Yes, that has its own problems, but I think that sounds pretty cool. Then we can promote arts and sports too. What do you guys think? Edit: I know we have sports departments in IITs/NITs, but they don't run at the potential.

[@theuniverse3782]

That is called a university

[@shivamahajan3190]

Sports quota candidates getting admission through their ability in sports not like those who are taking benefits just because of their category. First of all repeal sc/St/OBC quota then talk on this topic

[@trilokkashyap6493]

Always enjoy this show and keen to listen the point of view of each student in this show good one.....

[@Rahul-bs7uc]

As a sports quota student she speaks fluent english How is it possible 😇

[@deekshahs8503]

OK... suppose a person is very good at academics.. and wants pursue something in sports .... why is there no academics quota in there? ... if there's quota for one thing ..why is it not there the other way round?

[@pavansingh8781]

What about sc/st quota????

[@SandeepRawat-sl4pn]

Excellent channel it is.. great work

[@ankitaar]

Sandeep Rawat I think if someone has done well in sports he should be given quota in sports institutions or fields related to that subject. Proving best in sports doesn't mean proving in every field. There is incorrect mismatching.

[@SandeepRawat-sl4pn]

Ankita Rafiz yeah I agree. he or she only have to given the quota in the sport institutions rather than any academic college.

[@vijaylaxmi8998]

Ankita Rafiz All type's of quota and reservation are just bullshit that's the only reason why our education is so pathetic..

[@updatetodayajlbyshripaul2301]

nice

[@kanhaiyalalsharma3036]

Surely, the people excelling in sports is a good thing, but shouldn't that person orient themselves to the sports(which is unfortunate itself, because the scenario of sports in India is itself in a poor state, apart from the cricket.)

[@mdtalha1075]

what will you do when management will required a person with 90% marks along with good in sports.. its not possible bro for man or women to be excellent in both field.. exception may be occure usually its not possible.. management quota should be because we can't make a country developed only with a excellence in study or sports..

[@vvprasad7453]

Plz upload debates On contemporary issues in India

Maam ur any debates on who will be a better manager man or women.

[@rajuvenkat1980]

[@mr.h4901]

but why do u puch one field into another

[@samratdhamale]

The argument that sports persons are equally good had not answer in return

[@user-yw1wm6vv9v]

What about ST/SC/OBC category quota?

[@Himanshu.Harleyx440]

What about sc st quota?

[@mk-mq1od]

what about upper caste quota from past 5000 years

[@nareshk689]

Yes,

[@Monster-pq3bz]

m k yes it is biggest reason for backwardness of our country.... Actually they had been eaten the country like DIMAK for last 5000 years........ Actually Hindu religion is collection of nonsense beliefs it is based on superiority of 1brahman cast, and slavery of others......, actually generals never want to see dalits or any other cast on upper post.... That's why they are giving such nonsense arguments......,, ask them (generals) what is your plan to develop dalits, if reservation will removed...... Whole world is following reservation system to develop their schedule cast,,,,,, but in India general wants to remove quota for their personal benefit.

[@Monster-pq3bz]

What about ghuss and jugaad...?????????

[@anushka5144]

u know the boy is stick to one point....he should be prepared with more points

[@922-udaykumardhiraj5]

What's the outcomes of debate ?

[@kirandeepkaur4719]

Don't worry young people. Government is privatising PSUs. So once privatised companies like Air India, CONCOR, BEML, Shipping Corporation and more will hire only on merit as no reservation policy in private sector. So for healthy competition support the strategic sale of every PSU in India. That is a weapon in our hands to end reservations.

[@mangeshhiwrale980]

Actually problem is that upper caste people want 100% seats in jobs for enjoying and maintaining their upper cast and privilege status. this is not today's question. actually they have bin opposing reservation from many years ago since British Indian era

sports quota is good but caste vice seats not correct. dividing students or people r dividing like minority, mejority, sc,st, 2a,3a,3b not correct. we may divide by financial status. income basis
