This article provides an in-depth examination of the implementation of reservation policies in higher educational institutions, specifically focusing on ST (Scheduled Tribes) in Manipur. The study analyses the fixed reservation policy for these categories, including the number of reserved points and their application in various educational institutions. The analysis encompasses the Teachers Cadre or Bill Act, 2019, the appointment of faculty at Central educational institutions, and the appointment of assistant professors in colleges, including selection procedures. The study also examines faculty recruitment at Central Agriculture University in Manipur and its branches and faculty members in Manipur University from 2003-2011 and 2018-2019. Furthermore, the article investigates faculty recruitment per the departments with the reservation policy from 2016-2017. The findings reveal significant disparities in the implementation of reservation policies, including reserved seats not being filled according to the Manipur Public Service Commission advertisement, reservation quota disbandment, and issues involving general candidates, the Government, and high court orders. Additionally, the study provides insights into the number of ST teachers in government colleges as of March 2016 and the number of ST employees (Teaching) in government colleges as of March 2016.
