Reservation & examination policy in Rajasthan

Rajasthan's Gujjar agitation led to a 5% Most Backward Classes quota that has been repeatedly tested in court, and the state's total reservation including EWS exceeds the 50% ceiling. RPSC and REET recruitment have also faced paper-leak cases, including the 2021 REET leak and the 2022 senior-teacher recruitment leak.

Recruitment & examination bodies

  • RPSC
  • Rajasthan Staff Selection Board
  • RBSE
  • REET

Why the reform argument matters in Rajasthan

  1. 01Kota's coaching economy shows that preparation capacity, which money buys, is now a bigger sorting mechanism than category.
  2. 02Rajasthan's repeated paper leaks make examination-integrity legislation an urgent state demand.
  3. 03Desert-district households face structural disadvantage that group categories do not track.
