An RTI reply concerning IIT-Bombay revealed that only 11% of the faculty belong to reserved categories. Of the 775 filled posts, only 84 are held by teachers from the SC, ST, OBC, and EWS categories, according to information obtained from the institute. The institute has 1,225 sanctioned teaching posts, with 450 currently vacant. The issue resurfaced following the death of 20-year-old BTech student Sahil Wakode, whose father filed an FIR alleging caste-based discrimination.
