Classical case of mindless reservation system in India

Met an Ex-IAS officer's son yesterday in train. He was in his late twenties and was coming to Kolkata for appearing in an exam of Asst. Accounts Officer probably in West Bengal Government. We were three people in conversation including him and me. Well in the conversation we were talking about the reservation system in jobs and its impact. While the Upper caste candidates even scoring 80s are not able to get jobs while SC/ST candidates after scoring 40s are easily getting the same job. We discussed how the general candidates are getting victim of such a system and how the quality of the people coming in job due to such reservation system affects the entire chain. Well it may be a good subject for discussion but why I am writing this is that the boy who was going to appear for the exam while asked about his category came up with the answer that he appears in exams as a SC candidate. Well he looked suave, very well versed. He was serving in Bihar government earlier. He left that job recently on an issue with his boss. Friends let us think about it there may be several debates on this issue but my simple question is why there is such a mindless reservation system in which a son or a daughter of an IAS officer is eligible to get the advantage of reservation system?
