Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar tweeted, “Responding to requests from students and IIT community to proactively ensure that all reservation seats are duly filled, I have directed @IIT Kanpur conducting JEE advanced to make available candidates, strictly as per merit, twice the number of seats in each category ... if necessary by releasing a supplementary list”

Unlike the previous years’ trends where the number of students who make it to the list has always been double (twice) the number of seats on offer. It was an exception this year since 2012. The number of students is now eligible after the release of the extended merit list as decided by the Joint Admission Board –
