Re: reservation in educational institutions foe sc and st

To some extent, the answer to your question would depend on the State in which you are, and rules and regulations of the university under which the concerned college is fucntioning. Generally speaking, there are provisions which enable admissions to students of SC/ST community who pass the qualifying examination, though they do not have the requisite minimum marks. Please clarify the position in your particular case. The practise however varies from university to university.

The handbook/prospectus for admission or entrance examination usually contains the relevant info, with numbers and dates of relevant government notifications and/or directions on the subject. Please refer to this and let me know whether there are any such directions.
