MOST BACKWARD CASTES (MBC)

      5% Reservation for MBC

1. Reservation Percentage

MBCs in Rajasthan get 5% reservation in government jobs and educational institutions.

This reservation is separate from the OBC (Other Backward Classes) quota, which is 21%.

2. Background

The demand for a separate reservation for Gurjars and other communities led to protests over the years.

The Rajasthan government introduced the Rajasthan Backward Classes Amendment Bill, 2019, which increased the MBC reservation to 5%.

It applies to state government jobs and admissions in state-run educational institutions.

It does not apply to central government jobs like UPSC, SSC, or central educational institutions like AIIMS and IITs.
