* Scheduled Caste (SC) – 15%
* Scheduled Tribe (ST) – 7.5%
* Persons with disability (PwD)- 5% in each category (namely OPEN, GEN-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST)
* 2 seats in each institute for ‘Defense service candidates’
Foreign nationals- up to 10% (supernumerary)
* Female candidates- 17% (supernumerary)
* Economically weaker section- 4% currently(It will go up to 10% in a couple of years)

This quota system is present in all govt funded and public sector jobs and colleges.
- gregvab 6y agothats quite good actually
- Y_Y 6y agoHow does "Scheduled Caste" work? Generally matters of caste are mysterious in the west, since they're rarely (in my experience) discussed with non-Indians.
- muststopmyths 6y agoit's a legal term. I think "Scheduled" in this context means recognized on some government list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheduled_Castes_and_Scheduled_Tribes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheduled_Castes_and_Scheduled...
- twic 6y agoWhere that chunky "OBC-NCL" is "Other Backward Class - Non-Creamy Layer": https://nvshq.org/article/obc-non-creamy-layer-income-limit-eligibility/ https://nvshq.org/article/obc-non-creamy-layer-income-limit-... A lovely piece of divergence between the Indian and British Englishes!
- kyuudou 6y agoThat is hilarious!
- logicuce 6y agoThis is not entirely correct. The PwD reservation seems to be within the category and not overall. That takes your general category availability to much higher number than 14.5% that you believe.
- newen 6y agoYep, it's more like 40%. See https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-advanced/reservation https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-advanced/reservation
