A memorandum submitted to the Parliamentary Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has highlighted significant issues regarding the representation of SC/ST faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. As of now, only 3.1% of the 642 faculty members belong to Scheduled Castes (SC), and 1.2% to Scheduled Tribes (ST), which is well below the mandated quotas of 15% and 7.5%, respectively. The memorandum indicates that many departments lack any SC/ST faculty, and systemic exclusion persists in hiring practices and academic support. Faculty members have reported facing undue scrutiny for caste-related research, with allegations of hostile review processes and inadequate institutional support. Students echo these concerns, citing barriers in academic funding, mental health services, and placement processes that may involve caste discrimination. The grievance redressal mechanism at IIT Delhi is criticized for being ineffective and vague, leaving faculty and students vulnerable to retaliation. The situation underscores the urgent need for reforms to enhance representation and support for marginalized communities at the institution.
