educational reservations

Educational reservations are policies that set aside a certain percentage of seats in schools and colleges for specific groups, typically historically marginalized communities, such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. These reservations aim to promote equal access, representation, and opportunities in education by compensating for historical disadvantages and social inequalities. The goal is to ensure diverse and inclusive learning environments, helping historically disadvantaged groups advance socially and economically. Such reservations are framed within legal and constitutional provisions and often vary by region and institution.
