How Competitive Exams Made My Generation Think About Caste Again
Before JEE, I never cared much about caste. I barely noticed surnames, categories, or social divisions in daily life. Most of my friendships were simply based on personality, common interests, and school life. But after the April attempt results, something changed in the way I started looking at the system around me.
For the first time, I began paying attention to caste categories and reservation cutoffs. Seeing the large differences between General, OBC, SC/ST, and EWS cutoffs affected me emotionally more than I expected. Watching friends with lower scores getting access to colleges that felt out of reach for me created frustration and resentment inside me for some time.
What disturbed me most was not only the system, but also how it changed the way I started thinking. I caught myself looking at people through categories instead of as individuals. I even developed temporary hatred toward some friends, despite knowing logically that they were not personally responsible for the policies.
Later, I tried motivating myself by thinking, “I’ll work so hard that I’ll outperform everyone regardless of reservation.” But after some reflection, I realised that this too was becoming another form of ego turning my anger into a superiority complex instead of genuinely moving forward.
This entire experience made me wonder whether reservation, while designed to reduce inequality and historical discrimination, is also unintentionally reintroducing caste consciousness into a generation that may otherwise have cared less about caste identities. Many students who never thought about caste begin noticing surnames, certificates, and categories only after facing competitive exams and admissions.
I do not believe hatred toward individuals is the answer. Everyone has their own struggles, background, and circumstances. But I also think it is important to openly discuss how competitive systems influence the mindset of young people today.
Maybe the real challenge for our generation is learning how to acknowledge inequality without letting identity-based resentment consume us.
