Why not she may get married with upper caste person. But her caste never changed. But her child caste will be the father caste.

Yes. She can maintain her status as scheduled caste or scheduled tribe. However, her children will not get the benefit.

Her caste remains the same. she can claim the benefits. As rightly said by Mr.Mahendrakumar, her children has option to choose her caste.
It is not a rule that children will get the caste of father and not the mother.
