The Arunachal Pradesh cabinet has decided to scrap the 80:20 reservation scheme in state government recruitment, a move that will affect future hiring processes.
The Arunachal Pradesh cabinet announced the abolition of the 80:20 reservation policy in government recruitment during a recent meeting.
The 80:20 scheme had previously allocated 80% of positions to certain categories and 20% to others, a framework that had guided state hiring for years.
With the policy scrapped, the government said it aims to streamline recruitment and ensure a more merit‑based process.
The decision is expected to reshape the composition of future state civil services and other public sector roles.
