Under the new rules for recruitment to government jobs, 93% of seats will be reserved for merit, 5% for freedom fighters, Biranganas and their descendants, 1% for minorities and small ethnic groups, and 1% for people with disabilities and persons of the third gender. This will apply for all grades of government jobs. "
