Education20268 sections

This Act regulates how reservation quotas are applied to teaching positions in state-funded universities across Odisha. It mandates that when these universities hire new faculty through direct recruitment, they must follow specific reservation policies for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Socially and Educationally Backward Classes, and persons with disabilities, as defined by existing state resolutions. The Act treats the entire university as a single unit for calculating these quotas. It ensures that recruitment processes in public higher education align with state social justice policies, providing clarity on how these quotas are calculated and implemented for teaching staff.
