As you want to get the details of differences between OC, BC, SC, ST and OBC so here it is for you:

OC:
Other category
This category also known as General (GEN) class mainly comprising of three of the highest classes in the Varna system, which are the Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas.

ST:
Schedule Tribes
These are tribes that have traditionally lived in the forests, making up 7-8% of Indian population.

They are also known as Adivasis

SC:
Schedule Caste
These are scheduled castes that were in earlier times considered as untouchables comprising 16-17% of the total population of the country.

BC:
Also called backward classes, these come from economically and socially backward classes of the society.

OBC:
Other backward Classes
It is a very large group and similar to ST in the sense that it has been considered by the constitution as being economically and socially very backward. A large chunk (30%) of Indian population belongs to this class.
