50% reservation is a myth.
Unlike popular perception, there is hardly any representation for SC, ST, and OBC communities in higher civil services and Group A/B government employment.
The 50% limit is never met.
Sharing a detailed thread of real data.
(1/n)
#Merit #Reservation
Representation of SC/ST in Director/JS/AS/Secretary rank in central government
Just 4 secretaries out of 87 secretaries ( 4.60%)
Just 12 Additional secretaries out of 90 (13.33%)
Just 25 Joint secretaries out of 242 (10.33%)
Just 79 Deputy secretaries out of 509 ( 15.52%)
Just 1.12% for SC, 3.37% for STs and 0% for OBC at Secretary Level
Secretary : SC - 1.12%, ST-3.37%, OBC-0%
Addl.Secretary : SC- 6.45%, ST-5.38%, OBC-0%
Joint Secretary : SC-4.73%, ST 3.27%, OBC-6.91%
Even in this day and age, the reservation rate that can be achieved in Group A/B is only 25–35%. OBC Reservation achieved is in single digits even today. There is a significant number of unfilled positions and positions with a huge backlog in every department.
Only 33.45% achieved in government jobs
Higher Representation for SC+ST+OBC only in Safai Karmachari.
Reservation of 50% not achieved in both Group A and Group B.
Detailed study even at the total reservation provided including all types of employment showed that OBC representation was not great. SC/ST reservations were mostly met because of reservation in Safaikaramchari. Many ministries had very less representation of SC/ST/OBC.
Just 6.9% for SC, 1.5% for ST, 4.1% for OBC in 45 Central Universities at the level of Professors
Professors : SC(6.9%), ST(1.5%), OBC(4.1%)
Associate Professors : SC(7.2%), ST(2.3%), OBC(4.9%)
Assistant Professors: SC(12%), ST(5.7%), OBC(18.1%)
Just 1.92% of IIT Faculties are SC,ST,OBCs
According to 2019 data provided in response to a loksabha question, just 170 out of 8856 faculty members at IITs are from SC/ST/OBC communities.
That amounts to a representation of approximately 1.92 percent.
Just 5 faculty out of 637 IIM Faculty are from SC, ST, OBC community
Only five professors in IIMs are from the SC and ST categories, out of a total of 637 professors. That constitutes just 0.8% of all cases.
OBC figure is only 2.6% for IIMs, while it is 5.44 % for IITs.
JNU has just 3.29% Dalit and 1.44% Adivasi
In JNUβ€”which is regarded as a bastion of progressive movements β€” only 3.29% of the faculty is Dalit and 1.44% Adivasi, while the quotas are meant to be 15% and 7.5% per cent. Instead of 22.5% its just 4.73%
Only one Vice Chancellor is from the SC community, one from the ST community, seven from the OBC community, and only 29.21% of the teaching staff in 45 Central Universities is from the SC, ST, or OBC community.
Professors :
General (93.91%) > Muslims (45.20%)> SC (4.43%)> Other Minorities (2.86%)> OBC (1.11%)> ST (O.55%)
>Pwd(0.37%)
Associate Professors:
General (87.95%) > Muslims (14.78%)> SC (6.05%)> OBC (3.67%)> Other Minorities (3.03%)>ST (2.10%)
>Pwd(0.41%)
Just 8% reservation for SC,ST,OBC in PSU Banks
Single digit representation in top posts in central universities for SC/ST/OBCs
In CPSEs, there is no great representation achieved even today. Even if it is met, mostly it is at lower levels. There is very little representation at lower levels.
19000 SC ST OBC students drop out from IIT, IIM and other Central Universities
OBC student Suicides were the highest in IITs and other institutes
It is sad to see that a total of nine Dalit, three tribal, four minority and 28 OBC (the highest amongst all) killed themselves since 2018 till date

Real data is needed for decision making. I have been collecting this data and caste census is at the core of it. Really speaking even today, the representation of sc,st,obc in all the sectors is dismal. Sad state
This data collection is from my new book " The Pain of Merit". Published freely. The intention is to allay the popular beilef that 50% reservation is given to sc,st,obc. The reality is that even today, 50% reservation is not achieved in many areas.
