OBC quota in government jobs

OBC quota refers to a reservation policy in government jobs aimed at providing employment opportunities to Other Backward Classes (OBCs), who are socio-economically disadvantaged communities recognized by the government. This quota ensures a certain percentage of jobs are reserved exclusively for OBC candidates, promoting social inclusion and equality. The exact percentage varies by region and position, typically ranging around 27%. Eligibility is determined through government criteria, including socio-economic and educational backwardness assessments. The goal is to improve access to employment for OBC communities, fostering socioeconomic development and reducing inequality.
