The Bihar (in admission in Educational Institutions) Reservation (Amendment) Act, 2023

This law amends how admission rules work for schools and colleges in the state of Bihar that receive government funding. It sets out a fixed system of quotas where students are divided into categories with specific percentages. The Act changes these percentages to increase open merit seats to thirty-five percent and reserved category seats to sixty-five percent. It divides the reserved thirty-five percent into separate shares for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Extremely Backward Classes, and Backward Classes. By removing certain previous rules, this amendment clarifies how reserved students are counted when hiring staff or filling seats, effectively reshaping the reservation policy for the state's higher education sector.
