Reservation to
Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in Central Government services is provided
at the
rate of 27% in case of direct recruitment on
all India basis by open competition. In case of direct recruitment on all India
basis, other than by open competition, reservation for OBCs is provided at the
rate of 25.84%.
Representation
of OBCs is still low for the reason that reservation for them started onlyin
September, 1993. Moreover, those OBCs recruited before 1993
have not shown themselves as OBCs since the reservation was not available to
them before 1993, and they were recruited/ appointed as general candidates.
There is no reservation for OBCs in promotion.
Reservation to
SCs in Direct Recruitment is available since 1947. Whereas, reservation for STs
in direct recruitment was introduced from 1950. The provision of reservation in
promotion for SCs/STs is available since 1955.
As
per information received from various Ministries/ Departments, the
representation of SCs, STs and OBCs in posts and services of the Central
Government as on 1.1.2011 is as under:-
