Ok. looks like our $400M Thinktanks wont step up. It is me again to explain the foundation issues while battling #D in Tamizh as well. The announcement by Modi of 27% OBC and 10% EWS quota in UG and PG Medical AIQ. What is this?

So there are three types of seats :
1. State govt seats - domicile only
2. Central institutes (AIIMS,PGIMER,etc) - all india
3. Seats surrendered by states to Onriyam(Centre) - all India

There is already OBC quota in 1 (each state per their own OBC lists) and 2 (AIIMS/JIPMER pondicheretc)

THe issue today refers to the #3 item.

for UG : Every state surrenders 15% of its capacity to #3
for UG : Every state surrenders 50% of its capacity to #3

so if TN has 2000 UG seats 300 will be filled with All India students (tamil + nontamil) similarly WB/MH etc.

Now this AIQ has no OBC/EWS till today. But SC/ST is always there. So lets be clear we are talking OBC/EWS only.

So Modi bowing to pressure from TN apparently opened the gates of social justice to UG/PG medical. but .. but.. there is a catch.

You see the OBC lists arent normalized across states - per MBBS UG Applicant data for 5 yrs I have 92-95% of TN is reserved. That is 70-74% of TN Is OBC. Why? because you see the #D imperative is to disprivilege the TB only.. so everyone is in. I would love a debate on this.

So we have states with low OBC pop surrendering their seats to an AIQ Pool where states like TN will just lop it up. It isnt merely the % seats reserved but the % pop that comes under the reserved category.

So this is going to cause strain. Where is the incentive of other states to exercise discipline in OBC lists? Supreme Court is #IOI type - hence no discipline can be expected.

A fantastic example of #noncore3 completely outwitted so much so they wont even know it.

Oh ! and regarding EWS .. Tamilnadu will never implement cuz the 'raison-d-etre' of #D is to remove TB from position of authority (அதிகாரம் செலுத்தக் கூடிய பதவி) but TB can complete with rest of India in the 15% AIQ. issuing certificate by tn govt authorities etc.
