You've hit on the central point of the argument.

The idea is that a "level playing field" doesn't exist when some people have access to better schools, private coaching, and social networks, while others face systemic hurdles like poverty and discrimination passed down through generations.

So, judging "merit" just on a final test score is seen as misleading, because it ignores the vastly different starting points and resources each person had on their journey to that exam.
