For writing a editorial note covering some misjudgement facts (basically criticism of new policies based on failed results), I am writing in a sarcastic tone to get the message clear and effective as far as getting reactions (positively in action and ideal manner).

Would that be good idea considering that the majority of the readers is aged between 18-27?

Or any other manner you can suggest.

It's a students' college magazine raising academic issues, a kind of indirect communication bridge between students and the faculty to get their attention in their implemented rules, covering tuition-fees, assignments, publications of papers and views on new rules and their expected results.

If the intent of your article is to persuade, then sarcasm is rarely an effective tactic. Overt sarcasm will cause those who already agree with you will snigger along with you, while those who don't agree will be irritated. Subtle sarcasm runs the danger of being misinterpreted as sincerity. In either case, sarcasm is rarely an effective choice for an editorial.

You'll notice that printed media very rarely use sarcasm in their editorial pieces. It is somewhat more common on blogs and other online media, where the standards of formality are lower, but the best bloggers still use it sparingly. My recommendation is to stay away.
