Draft UGC guidelines seek to open de-reservation window

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI : The University Grants Commission has issued draft guidelines for de-reserving vacancies meant for SC, ST and OBC candidates in higher education institutes and open them up for the general category if enough reserved candidates are not available. The draft states that there is a general ban on de-reservation of reserved vacancies in direct recruitment, but in rare and exceptional cases when a vacancy in Group A post cannot be allowed to remain vacant in public interest, the university concerned may prepare a proposal for de-reservation. The draft also talks about shortfall and backlog in reserved vacancy posts and states that universities should try to fill the vacancies by calling for recruitment for the second time as soon as possible. It also permits de-reservation in promotions if sufficient numbers of SC/ST candidates fit for promotion against reserved vacancies are not available.
