To answer your question, they won't extend it to 50 because then many OBC students will start become eligible
ABS chooses the top 20 of some NLUs therefore values Merit over anything else.
"usually there will be no OBC/ SC/ ST student in the top 20"- But there could be some, and there have been and ABS doesn't disqualify them, it impartially chooses merit. If an SC student studies hard and reads GK regularly, nothing stops them from coming in the top 20, making them eligible on merit.
If ABS wanted meritorious students then they would have asked for applications from all the students have a rank below 100 or 150 or 200 for that matter. If someone is asking for applications from only the top CLAT rankers from a particular university then there cannot be any other reason
In the case of law firms, its different a topper at NUJS won't be eligible to sit for placements at NALSAR so a topper at NUJS irrespective of category will be eligible and get a good job!
Coaching industry is brainwashing you into hyperinflating it's relevance. I attended a normal middle class school and wrote CLAT and did well.
There are hundreds if not thousands of reserved people who spent lakhs on coaching thanks to their IAS/IPS/judge/misc govt employee parent and come to class with the latest iDevices, much richer than I or my friends, with no disadvantage from birth.
It is getting to the point where despite not wanting to believe this, I am wondering if the reserved candidates are somehow genetically deficient in intelligence? What else can explain their lackluster performance given the greatest statutory and economic advantage?
Maybe what we really need is for the government to set limit on random increases in fee, so that students dint have to rely on loans so much.
