Student Scoring Double Marks Than Selected Candidate Couldn’t Get Into IIT, Users Reveal Their Pain

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) have long held a distinguished status as the pinnacle of engineering education in India. With their rigorous admission process, they are often perceived as a fair and just institution when it comes to selecting students. However, recent revelations on Twitter have cast a shadow over this perception, igniting discussions about the fairness of IIT admissions.

In a tweet that gained significant attention, a user took to the social media platform to share a disconcerting occurrence within the IIT admissions process. The post highlighted an incident from the year 2020, where an applicant named Rahul Kumar with a lower score was admitted, while another applicant named Aman Mishra with a higher score was rejected. The tweet was accompanied by the caption, “Score – 82, Status – Rejected. Score – 41, Status – Selected. Even if you study for 20 hours a day to secure a seat at IIT, your seat will be given to someone who has scored half of your marks. In India, hard work has no value. It is cheaper than table salt.”

Take a look:

The tweet rapidly gained traction and triggered an outpouring of reactions from netizens. Disappointment and frustration were palpable as users shared their own experiences and opinions on the matter. One user pointedly remarked, “This is the reason why the best minds leave India.”

Another user expressed a similar sentiment, recounting personal experiences of facing similar discrepancies during their educational journey.

The ongoing conversation has illuminated the broader issue of reservation systems in India’s education and employment landscape. Some users argued that while reservations can play a crucial role in providing equal opportunities to marginalized communities, their implementation beyond undergraduate programs could potentially lead to unjust outcomes. The sentiment was shared that after completing their initial education, individuals should compete on a level playing field, irrespective of background or circumstance.
