History of the quota system in Bangladesh
In the public sector in Bangladesh, job reservations for specific disadvantaged groups have existed since independence. The most recent quota system, which included provisions for up to 56 percent of jobs going to those who fall under various quotas, was abolished for first- and second-class jobs in 2018 following a government circular. Previous quota systems, however, reserved an even higher percentage of jobs for various groups
