On April 30, 2023, the Karnataka Cabinet, led by Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H K Patil, ratified previous decisions regarding internal reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs). The Cabinet approved modifications to streamline recruitment processes, including the introduction of a 400-point roster system. This system allows for internal reservation within the 15% SC quota, ensuring that if fewer than three roster points are available, all 101 Scheduled Caste communities can compete under the SC general category. The Cabinet also plans to withdraw and reissue recruitment notifications that do not incorporate these changes, aiming to fill 56,432 approved posts. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah emphasized that the recruitment process will commence immediately following the issuance of new notifications. This decision follows earlier resolutions made on April 16 and April 24, which aimed to expedite long-pending recruitment across various government departments while adhering to the Supreme Court's guidelines on reservation policies.
