IITs need no introduction. Their flagship courses and the trained talent they churn out every academic year, has led to legions of success stories, which are now set in stone. Every aspiring engineer has his/her first college goal as IIT. Though, the highly stringent entrance test let pass only a few selected from the talent pool. There are a total of 23 IITs in the country and together they offer 16,2342 seats in the undergraduate program. Each IIT, however, has different courses, number of seats and a different cut-off list.
