Abstract: The division of a general public into castes is a worldwide wonder not solely honed inside a specific religion or conviction framework. In South Asia, caste discrimination is generally established in the Hindu caste framework, as per which Dalits are considered ‘pariahs’. Most Dalit understudies who go to a college are original students. The main objective of the study is to understand the caste discrimination in higher education with special reference to Chennai, and to identify the difference between caste discrimination in one’s educational life. Descriptive research is used and convenience sampling method is used to collect the samples. The statistical tools used here is ANOVA, independent sample t test, and chi-square. The sample size is 1860. The paper concludes that more awareness is needed among the public about the abolition of caste discrimination in higher education.
