No they can't. Unless they have the contact details no one can interview all. And the contact details aren't present openly
That's not my calculation but the central government percentage of reservation (49.5%), and it has been same since last 20 years when I was preparing for engineering.
Yes there are certain states with lower reservation (very few most have at least till the level of central government reservation with few like Tamilnadu having 60% reservation) the lowest being 32.5% reservation in West Bengal (excluding the EWS reservation which increases it to 42.5%) so then your supposed data is for some very minority state.
But then the point is if you really remember nothing about that survey isn't it possible that you also misremember the inference of that survey.
