The quota system.

Bangladesh’s quota system, particularly in public sector jobs and educational institutions, has faced criticism and issues over the years. Some of the common mistakes and criticisms include:

1. Inequity: The system has often been seen as unfair by merit-based candidates who feel disadvantaged by the large quota allocations.

2. Overrepresentation: Some groups receive a disproportionately large share of the quotas, leading to perceptions of favoritism and inequality.

3. Lack of Reform: Despite calls for reform, the quota system has remained largely unchanged, causing frustration among those who feel the system is outdated.

4. Corruption and Misuse: There have been instances where the quota system has been manipulated or abused, leading to questions about its integrity and fairness.

5. Impact on Quality: Critics argue that the quota system can sometimes compromise the quality of candidates, as it may prioritize quotas over merit.
