The percentage of Muslim applicants among all IAS officials fell from 4.4 percent in 2020 to just 1.6 percent in 2021. Even in prior years, the proportion of Muslims becoming IAS officers varied between 1 and 5 percent, a figure much lower than the estimated 17.22 percent Muslim population in india as per the 2011 census.
