Despite quotas, hill Brahmins disproportionately land civil service jobs

In fiscal year 2019-20, 28 percent of applications for civil service jobs were from the community but 45 percent of recruited were from it. This has been a trend for the past few years.

Despite mandatory reservation for marginalised groups, including women, in the civil service as per the Civil Service Act 2007, hill Brahmins continue to be the group most interested in civil service jobs and recruited in it compared to their share in the country’s population.
