THE SO CALLED
MERITOCRACY IN IIT'S IS LINKED TO AFFLUENCE
AS DEPICTED BELOW
A CHILD FROM AN AFFLUENT FAMILY USING AN iPAD
RESERVATION IS LINKED TO ABJECT POVERTY
GIVING HOPE TO THE ABOVE AVERAGE BUT POOR STUDENT
ATTENDING
KOTA COACHING SCHOOLS
PAYING LAKHS OF RUPEES
AND
SECURING A RANK IN THE
IIT JEE ENTRANCE EXAM
IS NOT WHAT I CALL
"MERITOCRACY"
THEY ARE IN FACT NERDS WHO CRAM UP BOOKS AND REGURGITATE AT EXAMS
BELIEVE IT OR NOT IN MY IITM BATCH OF 1970 WITH ABOUT 45 STUDENTS OR SO THE BOTTOM 15 WERE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE THAN THE TOP 15 NERDS
