Reported by AI Image generated by AI
The Karnataka cabinet on Friday approved a revised system of sub-quotas for Scheduled Castes within the 15% overall reservation, allocating 5.25% each to right-hand and left-hand Dalit groups and 4.5% to other SC categories. The decision came at a special cabinet meeting and will enable recruitment for thousands of stalled government posts. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah called it a historic move.
One year after the Karnataka government ordered refunds for Scheduled Caste students in management and NRI quota seats, no payments have been made despite budget releases.
