Hi ,
yes the no. of seats increased .. There are currently 20 NITs, the latest being NIT, Agartala and Karaikal(Union territory of Pondicherry).
Each NIT takes 50 percent of students from the state in which it is located and 50 percent from the rest of India. They also implement an affirmative action policy called reservation for the OBC at 27%, SC at 15% and ST at 7.5%.
There is also a fixed number of seats for NRI students and Foreign nationals.
