The Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee has suspended its earlier decision to introduce the EQ-2 quota for Class XI admissions in the upcoming 2025–26 academic session.

The suspension follows a High Court stay order (Writ Petition No. 13780/2025, dated September 4, 2025). The quota was originally outlined in an August 10 directive, granting admission privileges to children of teachers, officials, and staff employed under the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education in government schools, colleges, and education offices.

The EQ-2 quota was meant to cover children of employees working across 28 offices, directorates, and agencies under the Education Ministry. With the court’s intervention, the policy is now on hold.
