Scenario 30 Policysimulator
An interactive simulation laboratory testing the quantitative tradeoffs of shifting toward economic targeting, setting a 30% quota ceiling, and reallocating state funding toward upstream human capital.
Model Presets:
Policy Levers & Constraints
1. Statutory Quota Ceiling30% Maximum
20% (Targeted floor)30% (Recommended cap)65% (Current state bills)
2. Economic & Deprivation Weighting70% Need-based
10% (Pure administrative lists)50% (Hybrid)90% (Deep poverty targeting)
3. Annual Upstream Schooling Budget₹25,000 Cr / yr
₹5,000 Cr₹25,000 Cr (Recommended)₹50,000 Cr (Max Endowment)
4. Creamy Layer Exclusion Standard
Projected Outcomes
Bottom-Quintile Upward Mobility
+53%
Net placement increase for truly impoverished rural households.Merit Displacement Reduction
-72%
Friction and extreme cutoff score compression reduced.Intra-Category Equity Score
86 / 100
Prevents monopolization by dominant urban elite sub-castes.Model Assessment:
Balanced sweet spot: guarantees 70% open merit space while channeling assistance exclusively to verified household disadvantage.
