The Bihar Reservation in vacancies in posts and in services and in Admissions in the Educational Institutions (For Economically Weaker Sections) ACT, 2019

Education201913 sections

This Act mandates a 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in Bihar government jobs and state-aided educational institutions. It aligns state policy with the 103rd Constitutional Amendment, ensuring that individuals not covered by existing SC/ST/OBC quotas receive preferential access to public opportunities. The law applies to state-controlled establishments, including local authorities and public sector undertakings, but excludes private employment, central government roles, and specific temporary or compassionate appointments. For citizens, this means eligible EWS candidates can compete for reserved seats, while institutions must ensure these quotas are filled or revert them to open merit if candidates are unavailable.
