Aspirant,
According to Minority Affairs Ministry, Muslims are authorized as the minority civilizations by Section 2 (c) of the NCMA in the year 1992.
According to govt of our country a percentage of govt. jobs and positions in schooling hubs in respective states have been devoted to minority parties.
However, the Muslim communities are suitable for this change from state to state.
The TN govt. reserved 3.5% of positions Muslims and Christians by modifying the OBC reservation from 30% to 23%.
AP initiated legislation encouraging 4 percent reservations for Muslims in 2004. It has included the Muslims in the BC-E category.
Kerala state has an allotment of 12% for Muslims. Religious minority (Muslim or Christian) educational institutes also have 50% reservation for Muslim or Christian religions.
There are different lists of communities for different states which you can find here

The Central government has summarized various Muslim populations as backward Muslims, earning qualified for reservation.
Aspirants who want to be assigned a specific minority category are expected to furnish the precise statement stipulated for the it.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
