In fact the policy matter to provide in tie-resolution and ranking is different between IIT’s and NIT’s similar problem arises in the case of seats of disabled candidates. Regarding IIT is concerned; a candidate can select only one choice during counseling. But 30 NIT’s in the country permit multiple choices filling system.
