Article 16 of the constitution talks about equality in government jobs and says that in the recruitment and promotion processes for government jobs, there cannot be discrimination based on religion, caste, sex, place of residence, etc.

But if the government feels that some people from certain caste or strata of society are underrepresented in government jobs, it can provide reservations to them on a case-by-case basis. Advocate Avani Bansal explains this Article of the constitution in this episode of Hamara Samvidhan.
