Hello, here I am providing you the details of the SC ST quota available in the various IIMs as under:

Reservation criteria:
As per the Government of India requirements, 15 per cent of the seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC), 7.5 per cent for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates and 27 per cent of the seats are reserved for Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates belonging to the "non -creamy" layer (NC - OBC).

Three per cent seats are reserved for Differently Abled (DA) candidates.

The candidates belonging to categories for which seats are reserved need to note and read the eligibility requirements carefully before applying. It should be noted that while it is the endeavour of IIMs, that the candidates belonging to SC/ST/PWD/Non-Creamy OBC categories join the Programme in proportions mandated by the law, they have to meet the minimum eligibility criteria and a certain minimum level of performance.

Stats:
Of the total 1.58 lakh students that took the CAT examination last year, 8,991 were from the SC/ST category. With 22.5 per cent reserved for them across the six IIMs, the percentage translates into more than 300 seats in a total of around 1,450 seats.

As per the RTI response, the minimum CAT percentile for ST students has fallen from 83% for 2010-12 batches to 80% (2011-13) and 60% (2012-14) and to finally 38.34% (2013-15).
