No,
It is not strictly followed.

It depends on two things first it depends on the state you are living in as the cutoff of IPU is divided into 2 parts Delhite students and non-Delhite. Usually, the Delhite students get higher preference as there is an 85% quota for Delhi students reserved in IPU. Secondly, it depends on the category you belongs to if you are a general category student then it is very difficult to get in IPU. But I will suggest you to attend the spot counselling as there is a huge chance of selection through spot counselling.

I am providing the link you will get the details of almost all IIT fee structure. Just check it. https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.shiksha.com/b-tech/articles/amp/iit-fee-structure-for-btech-blogId-6275.

You'll not get a good deal, if you are not a reservation category student. If you are not, try private university and autonomous institutions through any quota. If you are in reservation, you are likely to get chemical in one of the top 10 NIT's. College Predictor:
