Reservation & examination policy in Telangana
Telangana conducted a comprehensive socio-economic and caste survey in 2024 and moved in 2025 to raise BC reservation to 42%, which would push total reservation well past the 50% ceiling and is expected to be litigated. TGPSC group examinations have also faced cancellation and re-examination over leaks.

Why the reform argument matters in Telangana
- 01Telangana's 2024 survey again demonstrates wide intra-category income dispersion.
- 02Hyderabad's technology employment is skill-tested at scale, providing a working contrast with state recruitment.
- 03Proposed 42% BC reservation revives the 50% ceiling question that Indra Sawhney settled in 1992.
