Default Re: Reservation in educational systems?Do we need it?

I will give an example...
when i finished my higher secondary i.e 12th class..i wrote the engineering entrance test and got 270/300 as cutoff.
In centralized counselling for engineering admission i got Computer science eng in a good college.But my friend who got 250/300 as cutoff got admitted into a better college(that college is one of the best college) with Aeronautical eng as course.
The only reason behind that is i belong to FC and he belongs to MBC or SC(i dont remember).BY merit i have more marks than him.
The government is advocating that for FC u have to have good marks and for BC -get good marks and need not be more than FC
MBC-get average marks and no worries.
SC& ST-get some marks.
I am not insulting anyone.
My argument is how can these people decide the future of the students by the caste and not by merit?
Reservation is the magic wand that the politicians exploit a lot.but they are unaware of the fact..It might backfire them.
If the government people feel that the backward sections of the society need some push,they should
1.provide all the facilities such as education,health et all to them
2.How long will the government say that they are backward.Bring them to the fore.
