That means all recruitment advertisements by the government will have to implement the age limit of candidates eligible for the quota. Individuals eligible for a 10 per cent reservation in government jobs under the economically backward class category have now been granted relaxation in age limit for five years, the Gujarat government has said. Gujarat was the first state to implement the new quota in jobs and education after it was cleared by Union Cabinet on January 7.

The quota will be over and above the existing 50 per cent reservation to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes, the Centre had said..
