However, not all the candidates who get 10/10 GPA might apply for IIIT. The candidates who secure 9.8/10 GPA also apply every year. Last year, around 34,000 candidates applied for four IIITs, and the number of students secured 10/10 GPA was 6,000.
Usually, IIITs give more emphasis to subject wise marks rather than overall GPA. If there is a tie between the candidates, the authorities will consider subject marks. First preference will be given to the marks scored by the candidates in Mathematics followed by Science. Preference will also be given to the marks scored by the candidates in English, Social Studies and first language.
