Same number of seats ie 25% are reserved for them in the Parliament. In each State that number will depend on the percentage of population and percentage of SC ST amongst them. In local body Electionsmlike Municipal polls in addition to SC ST , Other Backward Class candidates also have reserved seats. The constituencies are alloted by lottery system .
