State policy context · 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.
