Jammu, Dec 2: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has to attend a high-level Cabinet meeting on today, which is expected to take up several landmark decisions, including a proposed increase in the Open Merit quota for jobs and educational institutions.
The meeting will likely to begin at 9 a.m. which will marks the first formal Cabinet session following the annual Durbar Move.
The government is considering amendments to the Reservation Rules to rationalize quotas particularly those for the Resident of Backward Areas and Economically Weaker Sections to enable a larger share for Open Merit candidates.
The CSC has submitted its recommendations on June 10, 2025, which were later vetted by the Law Department. These proposals will now be tabled before the Cabinet for final consideration.
The said Cabinet meeting is expected to be pivotal, with decisions likely to reshape Jammu and Kashmir’s reservation landscape for years to come.
