27% Reservation Policy

The 27% reservation policy typically refers to a government effort to promote social equality by reserving a specific portion of public sector jobs, educational admissions, or resources for marginalized communities, particularly Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). This means that out of a total number of available positions or seats, 27% are set aside specifically to ensure these groups receive better access and opportunities. The policy aims to reduce historical inequalities and promote inclusivity, while still allowing open or general category applicants to compete for the remaining positions.
