Andhra Pradesh Raises Local Reservation to 95 Percent for Junior Assistant and Lower Posts

The Andhra Pradesh government has increased the local reservation quota to 95 percent for direct recruitment to posts at the junior assistant level or lower within local cadres under the state government. This quota also applies to posts under local authorities with pay scales not exceeding that of a junior assistant. However, the reservation excludes posts in the secretariat, department heads' offices, special establishments, state-level institutions, and police posts in the capital area's commissionerate, according to a recent government order.
