For instance for the registration no: 6096400,
the AIR (All India Rank) is 2902.
The OBC rank is 367.
It is obvious that 366 OBCs have qualified on their own mettle in the first 2901 places of the whooping 3.2 lakh students who had taken up this exam.
It is reasonable to assume that more than 10% of all those selected in the merit list of 6000 students had been OBCs.
If we look at performance of SC / STs, again it is impressive only.
In the first 3000 ranks, nearly 30 are of this category.
It must also be borne in mind that all these toppers were trained in premier coaching centres that charge not less than Rs.1.5 lakhs!
Are these students backward?
Do they need any special treatment by way of reservation?
On the contrary, they are getting special treatment for the caste certificates they hold,
by by-passing other rankers to enter the prime branches such as ECE, CSE etc which will be restricted to the first 500 rankers.
It means a sea-some difference in knowledge and aptitude between those who originally qualify for the first 500 ranks and those who jump over others by OBC treatment.
Anyways, adequate representation of OBCs and SCs in the common merit list is by no means a mean achievement and it is ample proof that there is no need for reservation in IITs.

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc. Don't you want to get it back for your self? Here is the trick how to get 100% of your available bandwidth.Increase internet speed :ugeek:To get it back:Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the "group policy editor" and go to: "Local Computer Policy" Then "Computer Configuration" Then "Administrative Templates"Then select "Network" then "QOS Packet Scheduler"After that select "Limit Reservable Bandwidth". Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e." By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20

Hello everyone!
I think I should first start with a brief ?about me?! My name is Ashish Sangwan, originally from Bhiwani. I wrote the JEE in 2003 and managed to get AIR 17. It has been a long time since that but still that preparation period will for many reasons remain forever etched in my mind. I got admission into the Computer Science and Engineering course at IIT Delhi. In fact, for those of you who?ve read the last article by Mayank Kumar (AIR-27), Mayank and me were not only from the same IIT, the same course and the same year, we were roommates too! More about me: I passed out in 2007 and now I?m doing my PhD at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, US in Computer Networks.
I think preparation fundas have already been covered a lot on this site already, and touched upon by my friend Mayank too. So I?ll not delve much into that, apart from telling you that the most important thing in this whole JEE business is that whatever you?ve learnt in the last one or two years, everything will be judged in one day, so what really matters is what your frame of mind is on the D-day. If you are cool, you could manage a brilliant rank even without having studied much. If you are tense, well, God help you then! Ok, agreed, everyone is a bit tense. I was too! But keep that tension in check. Don?t let it get to your head. As my friend has said earlier, it is not a life-and-death issue.
Anyway, I?d like to talk with you about some of the interesting things that happened during my stay at IIT Delhi:
Ragging: I was really scared of ragging before coming to IIT as I?d heard a lot of incidents. And my fears turned out to be somewhat true, though ragging was not as bad as I?d thought it would be. We were made to do a lot of interesting stuff, some of it censored! I was made to marry Mayank, Christian style, and I was the bride! :) Whenever an airplane passed overhead, I had to run after it, shouting at the top of my voice, asking it to give me a lift! We were made to enact a lot of interesting scenes. I was made to act like crazy gorillas, and believe me, what I did was horrible! :) But you people need not worry about ragging. It is non-existent today with the strictures imposed against it.
Friends: I made some really good friends during my stay at IIT, not only from my department, but others as well. My core group was of 5-6 people. Since IIT Delhi lies in South Delhi, and there are lots of places to hang out in South Delhi like the PVR complexes and all, we would go on outings very frequently. There are even all-night cafes at the campus itself, and we would stay awake till 5 in the morning discussing whatever took our fancy: mathematics, computers, technology, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, girls!, food, our future, the future of mankind etc etc. These discussions have etched themselves deeply in my mind, and much of my actions are guided by them.
Programming: This is as important as water to me! Long hours used to pass while I programmed this and that, and managed to create some pretty interesting stuff. I was pretty good at my course-work, and that's why I guess I managed to get admission into a very prestigious institution for post-graduation.
Movies: This is an integral part of every IITian?s lives. We have a LAN (Local Area Network) on the campus, where one can find almost any movie from around the world. I must have watched approximately 600 to 700 movies during my stay! (No exaggerations here). My all-time favorite movies are ?Shawshank Redemption? and ?The Man from Earth?. I?d urge each one of you to watch these two movies, of course, after your JEE :)
LAN Games: Age of Empires, Quake-III, Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament; those of you who?ve played these games understand the addiction. In IIT?s hostels, we have rooms very near to each other and one?s voice easily carries to all other rooms in the corridor. A typical scene during a gaming session would be that everyone in the corridor would have their doors open, and everyone would be shouting at everyone else: ?Abe bomb plant kar yaar? ?abe woh tere peeche hai maar ussko maar? ?Abe tu kitna bada ******* hai terese who bhi nahi mara gaya? It was quite interesting, and fills me with nostalgia whenever I think of it.
Sassi: This is so important for an IIT Delhi student that I would be committing a crime by not including it here. Well, Sassi is a roadside dhaba where they serve paranthas, patties, dhaba chai and stuff like that. During our minors and majors (mid-semester and end-semester exams), going to Sassi in study breaks was indispensable. Once you got there, you?d find half of the rest of IIT there too! Standing there and talking to others about their preparation and discussing questions related to the exam tomorrow was pretty fun in itself. This dhaba finds a mention in Chetan Bhagat?s ?Five Point Someone?.
Well, there are lots of other memorable things that happened, but that can?t be covered in this short an article. These few things I?ve told you just to give you an idea on how IIT life actually is, and what to expect when you go there. I guess this is where I sign-off. If you want to talk to me about something, you can always use the forums on the site. Bye and best of luck!!!!!
