UGC Row: What is the ratio of SC, ST, OBC students in Indian colleges?
ExplainedOBC, SC, ST students now make up over 60% of Indian college enrolments, while General category share falls to 39%.
Rising caste-based discrimination complaints and new UGC rules spark debates over fairness and equity in higher education.
Estimates from that period suggested General category students accounted for 50-65% of enrolments, OBCs 15-30%, SCs 10-18%, and STs 5-10%.
Elite institutions like IITs and IIMs still have higher General category representation, though overall enrolment trends reflect increasing diversity aligned with population demographics.
