Government jobs me reservation system candidates ko category ke hisaab se representation deta hai. Ye guide basic samjhayega.
Categories: - SC (Scheduled Caste): 15% reservation - ST (Scheduled Tribe): 7.5% reservation - OBC (Other Backward Classes): 27% reservation (non-creamy layer) - EWS (Economically Weaker Sections): 10% reservation (general category me economic basis pe) - PwD: 4% (horizontally har category me)
Kaise kaam karta hai: - Vacancies category-wise divide hoti hain - Har category ki apni cut-off hoti hai - Certificate category proof hota hai (DV me maanga jata hai)
Important: - OBC me creamy layer exclude hoti hai (income limit se zyada) - EWS ke liye income certificate zaroori - Reserved category ka candidate General quota me bhi select ho sakta hai agar merit se qualify kare
Tip: Apna certificate latest format me banwa lo aur validity check karo — bharti ke time galat certificate rejection ka reason banta hai.
