Round Robin is starvation free .Each and every process is given equal CPU time .

While the other Scheduling policy favour a a particular type of process ( say shortest job first ) which will cause Starvation !

Round Robin – this gives all processes equal access to the processor. The other techniques each select some “types” of processes to others (e.g. short processes, high priority processes etc).
