Sectional cut offs and IIFT entrance exam percentiles will be used to determine which candidates are shortlisted for WAT-GD/Extempore-PI. The number of candidates to be shortlisted in accordance with the number of seats available determines the minimal cut-off percentile.

Marks from classes X and XII will be taken into consideration in addition to the previously mentioned condition. Non-engineers may receive up to 5 points at IIFT in order to maintain class balance.
