What Is The Quota System In Bangladesh?
For years, college students have been protesting against the reservation system for government jobs, especially for the children of war quota.
Under this quota, 30 percent of seats in all government jobs are reserved for the children of veterans who fought for the country’s independence from Pakistan in 1971.
The current Bangladesh reservation system for recruitment is as follows -
56 percent of government job entry positions are reserved for specific "entitled" classes
30 percent for children/grandchildren of 1971 "freedom fighters"
10 percent for women
10 percent is for districts based on population
5 percent for ethnic minorities
1 percent for people with disabilities
