In the IIT Madras, out of 427 faculty members (teaching staff) only 2 faculty members belong to the Dalit community. Both these members only belong to the lower cadre. Also, this means that instead of 22.5% of positions being allotted to Dalits only 0.4% reservation is being given. If the proper process of reservation is followed there should be 96 Dalit faculty members.
Also, although Muslims form about 15% of the Indian population there is not a single Muslim faculty member in the Institute. There are only a handful of Christian faculty members.
Around 400 faculty members belong to the Brahmin community. This means that the Brahmins occupy 93% of the teaching community in the institute although their percentage in population is only 3%. About 15 faculty members belong to other Hindu castes apart from Dalits or Brahmins.
