Reservation & examination policy in Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh introduced Kapu reservation in 2017, which faced the same 50% ceiling problem seen in Maharashtra and Haryana. The state runs one of India's largest school-fee reimbursement and Amma Vodi style education-transfer programmes, giving direct evidence on income-linked educational support.

Recruitment & examination bodies
