Reservation & examination policy in Delhi
Delhi applies central reservation rules for central government posts and separate DSSSB rules for NCT services. Karol Bagh, Mukherjee Nagar and Old Rajinder Nagar host the country's biggest UPSC coaching cluster, whose safety and regulation became a national issue after the July 2024 Rau's IAS basement flooding deaths.

Why the reform argument matters in Delhi
- 01Every reform the movement demands — examination integrity, backlog clearance, need-based targeting — is decided in Delhi.
- 02The 2024 Old Rajinder Nagar tragedy exposed how unregulated the aspirant economy has become.
- 03Delhi's own colleges show the widest gap between cut-off marks across categories in India, making it the natural venue for transparent, published cut-off audits.
