The Tamil Nadu Special Reservation of seats in Educational Institutions including Private Educational Institutions and of appointments or posts in the services under the State within the Reservation for the Most Backward Classes and Denotified Communities Act, 2021
This Act regulates the distribution of the existing twenty percent reservation quota for educational admissions and state government job appointments in Tamil Nadu. It applies to students and job applicants from specific Most Backward Classes and Denotified Communities, subdividing them into three distinct groups. The law allocates ten and a half percent, seven percent, and two and a half percent to these respective subgroups. This matters because it seeks to address unequal representation within the broader marginalized categories, ensuring that the most disadvantaged communities receive dedicated, protected access to higher education and public sector employment opportunities.
