EWS Quota introduced in the UPSC CSE (P) Notification 2019
10% seats are now reserved for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
Indian Parliament had recently passed the Constitution Amendment Bill for 10% quota for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS). President of India had signed the bill and it has become an Act.
UPSC has taken this new provision into consideration while recruiting new candidates into services like IAS, IPS, IFS, IRS etc in 2019.
IAS has a total of 180 vacancies each year. If EWS reservation is taken into consideration, 18 seats will be reserved for those candidates who are from Economically Weaker Sections. Similarly, 10% quota should be reserved for other services like IPS, IRS etc.
However, unfortunately, no relaxations are provided with respect to upper age-limit, and number of attempts for EWS.
