The number of students appearing for the IIIT Hyderabad UGEE exam varies each year, typically ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 candidates. From these, approximately 600 to 800 candidates are shortlisted for interviews, with about 300 ultimately receiving admission offers based on their
Around 8k to 9k student's appearing every year for IITH UGEE exam But out of that 700 to 800 students are selected for interview and after that maximum 300 students are shortlisted.Its total seats are 105.
I have a doubt, If 300 student are shortlisted in Interview and selected in Interview then what about remaining students because there is only 105 seats in dual degree programme
