If pwd or reserved seat remain vaccant then can OBC or open students can eligible for those seats??
Yes sir i properly understand your query so i would like to give you a brief as follows:
The society which includes our policy makers, examiners, interviewers and bureaucracy understand ‘disability’ as ‘inability’.
This huge backlog of vacancies was tried to be cleared out through a special recruitment drive conducted by Government of India. This was after getting orders from the higher judiciary and much media uproar that this step had to be taken. It’s true that this step to fill the huge backlog in just one year must have
A whole generation of people suffered at the hands of the system due to the unjust attitude of the system and society because of their disabilities. One couldn’t help but think that do we need court orders and media uproar every time for reservation to be properly implemented and to clear backlog vacancies amounting to thousands.
Sadly, the answer seems to be in the affirmative. The system is always in need of uproar to take action, but that won’t count as justice. Secondly, the reason behind such huge backlog of vacancies is that the system wants to make sure that those who have applied from any particular category (especially differently-abled) should be picked from the seats reserved for them only. To cut the argument short, it is tried to ensure that no candidate who has applied from any other category can come from unreserved category.
If one argues that why he/she was picked from his/her categories reserved seat and not from unreserved category even after getting more marks than the cut-off required for unreserved category, the typical reply comes from the ‘sarkari babus’ is that, “Why do you care, you have got a seat, just be happy with that.”
This is sheer injustice. The point is not just about getting a seat, the point is about effective implementation of reservation because if a differently-abled candidate qualifies from general category, then he/she wouldn’t come from his/her category and another differently-abled candidate can come in that place from the Pwd Category seat.
Secondly, the question is how 3% reservation for candidates with disabilities is calculated. It seems as a simple mathematical problem when the total number of seats is more. For e.g. if there are 100 seats in total, then 3 seats out of 100 would be reserved for differently-abled candidates. But what about when less than 15 seats are in question, how does one calculate its 3% because it would not even amount to a single seat and as a result no differently-abled candidate is picked.
This means even if less than 10 seats are advertised, the 1st seat belongs to the candidates with disabilities.
