The staff association of Ramjas College is alleging that EWS reservation for teachers’ recruitment is being implemented by carving out vacancies from the general category, and that the central government has not sanctioned any additional posts or funds.

The staff association of Ramjas College has written to the President of India, alleging that EWS reservation for teachers’ recruitment is being implemented by carving out vacancies from the general category. The University Grants Commission has not responded to queries on this matter. Principal Manoj Khanna of Ramjas College said that the university’s reservation and roster system is being followed for the recruitment, as there has been no extra sanction of posts.
