“The new dates for the postponed examination will be declared after we receive a notification (regarding implementation of the new Act) by General Administration Department, which is expected soon,” Dasa said.

The Gujarat Subordinate Staff Selection Board (GSSSB), another recruitment authority of the state government, has also postponed recruitment examination for around 2,400 Class III rank vacancies for different departments. Advertisements were already out for all these vacancies.

Secretary of GSSSB P D Palsana said, “Following the announcement of EWS quota implementation, we have postponed the recruitment process for around 2,400 vacancies. Majority of the vacancies are that of non-secretariat clerk (2,200). We will issue a new date for the examinations after receiving government communication regarding the new legislation."

When asked about the modalities of the manner in which the new legislation will be implemented in Gujarat, senior Cabinet minister (Law & Justice and Legislative & Parliamentary Affairs) Bhupendrasinh Chudasama said, “So far, neither me nor the state government have received anything regarding that (from the central government). Once I get it in a day or two and study it, I can inform you.”
