No, they comes under Shatriya, in some states of India they count as minoritites and in other backward classess but not shedule.
Maurya were the fiercest warriors and therefore royal Kshatriya in the age of Jainsim and Buddhism. However since they are a farming and agricultural caste now a days, they are listed as backward castes just like other many farming communities of India - a sign of passage of time.
