This instance throws light on the importance and purpose of reservations at IIMs. Many people are against the reservation system and they find it unfair for reserved category students getting admission at low percentile but this story justifies why this is important. The inspiring journey of Suraj was shared in a reddit group and this went viral. Suraj commuted 4o kms daily for his CAT preparation.
