More girls at IITs, but a mere 46 in top 1,000

At least 8% more seats (800 in all) will be added to IITs this year to accommodate more girls. According to the IITs, female candidates are eligible for a seat from the female-only pool as well as the gender-neutral pool of a program. A female candidate will compete for a seat in the gender-neutral pool only if she fails to get a seat from the female-only pool.
