According to the new format IIT- B has decided to restrict the figure to about 50,000 students instead of 1.50 lakh to appear for the entrance test.

IIT-Madras was the first to accept the Common entrance test. IIT- Kanpur is also expected to take a final decision after examining the IIT council resolution.
