Itanagar, August 13: The Arunachal Pradesh government has scrapped the existing 80:20 reservation arrangement in government recruitment following a Cabinet decision approving the recommendations of the High Power Committee (HPC) on recruitment eligibility criteria.
Under the revised framework, candidates applying for government jobs in the state will be required to possess both an Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) certificate and a Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC).
Proficiency in the local dialect will also be made a compulsory eligibility criterion for government recruitment, according to the Cabinet decision.
The Cabinet approved the HPC recommendations on eligibility requirements for recruitment to government posts, replacing the earlier 80:20 arrangement.
The revised criteria are aimed at strengthening eligibility requirements for government employment and ensuring that candidates meet the prescribed indigenous and local conditions.
The decision is expected to have significant implications for future recruitment to government posts across Arunachal Pradesh.
