In a significant decision taken during the Cabinet meeting held on September 4, 2025, the Karnataka government has directed the cancellation of all direct recruitment notifications issued after October 28, 2024, by any department, board, corporation, or autonomous body.

This move comes in accordance with the decision made in the Cabinet meeting held on October 28, 2024, and is aimed at implementing internal reservation within the Scheduled Castes (SC) category based on the recommendations of the Justice A.J. Sadashiva Commission (Nagmohan Das Commission).

🔹 Key Highlights:

• All recruitment notifications issued after October 28, 2024, for direct appointments are to be cancelled.

• Recruitment authorities are instructed to withdraw all such notifications and reissue fresh notifications that incorporate internal reservation for SC sub-groups, as per the updated policy.

• Any amendment notifications issued for earlier advertisements post-October 28, 2024, are also null and void.

• Departments, boards, corporations, and autonomous bodies are directed to follow this strictly and complete the revised recruitment process in a time-bound manner.
  

🔹 Background: Internal Reservation for Scheduled Castes

The implementation stems from the findings of the Justice A.J. Nagmohan Das Commission, which studied the social and economic backwardness of various SC sub-castes in Karnataka.

The commission recommended internal categorization within the SC community to ensure equitable distribution of reservation benefits. Based on these recommendations, the government has restructured the reservation matrix within the SC quota and is now mandating all new recruitments reflect this change.TRASE Block Heels Sandals For Women, Dusky Stylish & Comfortable Footwear

• New job notifications will be issued incorporating sub-categorized SC reservations, ensuring representation of all backward SC sub-communities.

• Recruitment authorities such as KPSC, KEA, departmental boards, etc., must revise their recruitment timelines and publish fresh notifications accordingly.Mysuru Devaraj Urs Circle: A Memorable Landmark https://www.insightrush.news/article/68baba095ee50179a346313b
