Hii

As per the quota system SC/STs in IIMs is 22.5% of which only 9 to 16% apply for placements due to various reasons. Even though 9 to 16% who apply for jobs get placed, the salaries are low compared to their 'general' category counterparts.

We all know that there is hardly any PSU that visits any IIM campus, so reservation is not going to help in IIMs. Private firms do not discriminate you on the basis of caste or religion. Of course ! But they do short list people on the basis of their marks in 10th, 12th and graduation degree.

And here comes the problem, most of the SC guys do not have 90+ marks in their 12th class, and even after getting shortlisted, there goes a GD round.

Now you have to compete with people who have excellent communication and verbal skills. Do you really think that some one with 70 percentile score in verbal section can compete with some one, who had 99+ percentile in that section.

Good luck.
