Conversion of religion does not alter the resevation status. The children acquires the sc/st status of his parents.

SC can apply under general category candidate.
Change of religion does not effect reservation status.

Only for claiming SC/ST reservation, changing the religion will not help. Later somebody who is deprived of the appointment will make complaint. Instead of entertaining backdoor method you study hard and get selected in general category. You want to be Christian for religious belief and want to be Hindu for job purpose.

If you are reverting to Hinduism, your SC status can be retrieved and you will be eligible for reservation benefits provided by the government in all those places.
