Inter IIT probables are selected on the basis of their performance in Open IIT table tennis , which is held in the month of September at IIT Kharagpur. Usually 4-5 girls and 8 boys are listed as probables. These are then trained by the temporary coach to undergo rigorous training and daily practice of approximately 3-4 hours.
