What factors does the State consider when making provisions for reservation?
The State considers the following factors when making provisions for reservation:

1. Whether a particular class of citizens (such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) is adequately represented in the services under the State.
2. Whether any vacancies are reserved for being filled up in that year in accordance with any provision for reservation made under clauses (4) or (4A). These unfilled vacancies can be considered as a separate class of vacancies to be filled up in any succeeding year or years, and they will not be counted towards the ceiling of fifty percent reservation on total number of vacancies of that year.
