What is ST (Scheduled Tribe)?
The Scheduled Tribe (ST) category in Karnataka has a 3% reservation of state quota seats. This includes all communities listed under the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order for Karnataka. Candidates need a Caste/Income Certificate from the jurisdictional Tahasildar. No creamy layer criterion applies.
