Thanks for your thoughtfulness EggWhitesOnly. I was not really trying to limit my chances of acceptance and i am putting in a lot of effort into my applications. But i know you meant well. I understand that you don't have the information and its my bad for asking such a question in haste! I know categories dont matter more than the essays else i wouldnt even be thinking of applying with a GMAT of 660 and a status of being unemployed.

Jsonali,
I don't think I can provide with you with exact numbers per "category" of student. The reason being, I simply don't know everyone's citizenship, background, or actual job responsibility. Therefore, just because someone appears to be of Indian ethnicity, I can't automatically qualify him or her as Indian IT. Perhaps they are actually American/Canadian/British. Maybe they work for an IT company in a completely non-IT-related capacity.
I would also urge you not to use that categorical bucket to limit your own chances of acceptance. Rather than think you are competing against a limited "quota," try to find ways to distinguish yourself as an exemplary candidate. Maybe your experiences are commonplace. Write about them in a way that isn't.
I didn't get into LBS because the quota of "my type" (scientist/biotech/female) was filled. It was simply that my essays weren't well-written and I did not choose my recommenders carefully. I put 200% more effort into the preparation of my HEC application.
