Hello Ved,
Yes, there is category-wise reservation for candidates in JEE Main.
Scheduled Caste - 15%

Person with disabilities - 3%
But please note that :
- For admission to NITs, IIITs, and GCTIs, you must belong to the central list in your category published by GOI
- State engineering colleges that accept JEE Main scores for admission will follow the reservation criteria of that state only.
- In case of NITs and IIITs, there is 50% reservation each for home state candidate and All India candidates.
