Allahabad HC Rules Reserved Candidates Clearing General Cut-Off Counted in Open Category
The Allahabad High Court ruled that marks obtained in recruitment screening exams significantly impact final selection, as these scores contribute to the merit list. It held that reserved-category candidates who score equal to or above the unreserved category cut-off should be considered under the general category, not counted against reserved quotas. The court emphasized the screening test's integral role in selection and directed the Uttar Pradesh government to clarify its policy on this matter within three months.
