The current system reserves more than half of posts, totalling hundreds of thousands of government jobs.
That includes 30 per cent reserved for children of those who fought to win Bangladeshi independence in 1971, 10 per cent for women, and 10 per cent set aside for specific districts.
Students said only those quotas supporting ethnic minorities and disabled people – six per cent of jobs – should remain.
