Where that chunky "OBC-NCL" is "Other Backward Class - Non-Creamy Layer":

A lovely piece of divergence between the Indian and British Englishes!

How does "Scheduled Caste" work? Generally matters of caste are mysterious in the west, since they're rarely (in my experience) discussed with non-Indians.

it's a legal term. I think "Scheduled" in this context means recognized on some government list.

This is not entirely correct. The PwD reservation seems to be within the category and not overall.
That takes your general category availability to much higher number than 14.5% that you believe.

Yep, it's more like 40%. See https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-advanced/reservation
Less than 14.5% of the total seats are available for the general category students.
The total category wise distribution in the IIT’s for academic year 2019–20 is as follows
* OBC-NCL – 27%
* Scheduled Caste (SC) – 15%
* Scheduled Tribe (ST) – 7.5%
* Persons with disability (PwD)- 5% in each category (namely OPEN, GEN-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST)
* 2 seats in each institute for ‘Defense service candidates’ Foreign nationals- up to 10% (supernumerary)
* Female candidates- 17% (supernumerary)
* Economically weaker section- 4% currently(It will go up to 10% in a couple of years)
Total percentage of reserved seats - 85.5%
This quota system is present in all govt funded and public sector jobs and colleges.
