Education is regarded as an essential tool for progress and social transformation. Through education, individuals will be able to achieve significant transformational changes by improving everyone's socio-economic conditions. In India, the existing caste system and hierarchical society's access to educational opportunities are unequal and unfair, so the present study is about the Scheduled Caste and higher education. It primarily examines Scheduled Caste's higher education scenario, constitutional requirements for Scheduled Caste educational growth, and variables affecting Scheduled Caste's higher education status. This paper emphasizes how Caste forms the perceptions of those at the very bottom of the higher education caste hierarchy and provides an innovative perspective on Caste throughout modern India. There are similarities to that same discrimination, especially among elite context. The whole paper moved away first from Dalit mainstream in higher education by focusing not on the policy of numbers or reservations but the inner lives and struggles of Dalit students. Based on traditional untouchable practice, the Scheduled Caste categories' castes are characterized by significant social, educational, and economic backwardness. The Constitution, which addresses the present paper, has some provisions for scheduled castes' educational and economic advancement. There is a positive trend in literacy and higher education enrollment among Scheduled Caste students in India, but the rise in the Gross Enrolment Ratio is slow.
