The first allotment for admission to the Indian Institute of Technologies (IITs) and the National Institute of Technologies (NITs) will be held on October 27. The Kerala Government extended the admission process in view of the fact that many seats would be vacant in the engineering colleges in the State after admission to IITs and NITs. 

The Kerala Government has approached the Supreme Court of India seeking more time (another month) to complete the B.Tech admission process.
