OBC quota in education

OBC quota refers to a reservation policy in education that allocates a certain percentage of seats to candidates from Other Backward Classes, recognized as socially and educationally disadvantaged groups. This policy aims to promote equal opportunities and improve access to higher education for these communities. It is part of broader affirmative action efforts in India to foster social inclusion and reduce disparities by providing reserved seats in colleges and universities, ensuring that marginalized groups have better chances of pursuing quality education and improving their socio-economic status.
