The Indian Institute of Technology is now speculated to provide 10% additional seats in IIT to foreign students. The IIT will now hold their entrance exams at 6 international centres as opposed to 1. By doing so, they are widening the enrollment section for foreign students. An official told ToI that the foreign candidates would have to first pass the JEE advanced examination to qualify for an IIT seat. The GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in engineering) exam, which is a necessity for entrance into MTech courses is also to be held in 6 countries. He further said that the foreign candidates did not have to sit for the JEE main examination.

He also cleared the confusion over what it would mean for the Indian students and said that the induction of foreign students would not provide the Indian students with fewer seats. The 10% addition, is an addition to the already existing number of seats available in all of the 23 IITs. He also said that 20,000 more candidates would be made eligible to write the paper after passing the JEE main, and thus getting the number to 2,20,000.
