SP expresses concern over reservation system

What did the commission say?
According to the commission chairman, school-wise vacant posts are being used as the basis for the recruitment. The selection process is being taken forward according to the availability of posts and the relevant rules. The official advertisement and details of subject-wise and category-wise vacancies are important for understanding the allocation of posts and the reservation position under the recruitment.
