- According to the Bill, only the candidates who have studied in Tamil medium from primary school onwards will be accorded preference in direct recruitment under the ‘Persons Studied in Tamil Medium’ (PSTM) quota.
- The Bill seeks to amend the Tamil Nadu Appointment on preferential basis in the Services under the State of PSTM Act, 2010.
- In 2010, the Tamil Nadu Government has announced 20% reservation in government posts for Tamil medium candidates.
- The amendment is being brought in as the government had come across instances where candidates who had obtained only the final prescribed educational qualification in Tamil medium were applying under the PSTM quota for direct recruitment.
- For instance, for a post for which the prescribed qualification is graduation, the candidate would have obtained a degree in Tamil medium through distance education, despite having studied in English medium in school and college.
