For admission to leading IIITs, candidates typically need a percentile above 97–99 depending on the branch. High-demand courses like IT and Computer Science often close at very high ranks, making competition intense.

Institutes like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, and NIT Warangal continue to be top choices among aspirants. Branches such as Computer Science, Electronics, and Artificial Intelligence remain highly competitive due to strong placement records.
