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.
