Last year the reservation for girls was about 14% in IITs and NITs apart from the reservation for SC,ST and OBC. This year government is planning to increase this reservation to about 20% because of the increased number of participation/admission of girls.

Hello Rajiv

According to MHRD 14% reservation has been kept for girls in IIT college and the girls will have their own Merit List . So they will get admission according to that merit list

for Example

1. Let us assume that an IIT has 100 seats.
2. Based on the merit list of JEE Advanced 2019, say 8 girls and 92 boys are given admission to the institute.
3. Now, as per the 14 percent IIT reservation for girls rule, 6 more girls are to be given admission.
4. These 6 girls are selected from a separate girl only merit list.
5. The number of boys given admission, i.e. 92 will, however, remain unchanged. So, there is no reduction in the number of seats for boys.
6. The provision of admission to 6 more girls is additional to the existing number of admissions, thus, the admission being supernumerary in nature.

I hope you understand my answer

Thank You and GOOD LUCK !!!
