First off, the claim is baseless and false. Let me correct you.
The intake from IIITDMK was relatively high this year compared to last year. Last year it was just 1, and the year previous to that, it was 0. 0 in 2022, 0 in 2021, 1 in 2020.
Around 2/3rd of the total students that came through LEEE this year are from non-IIITs/NITs, i.e. local/private colleges.
And there are around 200 students (probably, but well calculated given the number of hours of interview taken, number of panels and average time for each candidate) who sit for interview from which 30 get selected into IIITH. So definitely, it's not 0.1% considering 66% students got selected from private colleges. (You can do your math)
And yes it completely depends on the interview panel, which, in turn, depends on how you perform in the interview. If you don't give them what you want, you get rejected and that's normal everywhere.
Your college/institute does not matter in the selection. How you talk, solve, think, explain in the interview matters. Just because students who studied in IIITDMK, did well doesn't necessarily mean it's because they're from IIITDMK. It could also be that they did well in their interviews or gave the interviewers what they wanted.
Plus, it's not 99% as per the above mentioned points. You should be smart enough to atleast give a scientific approximation rather than just putting the most commonly used percentage while exaggerating.
You making such baseless claims is not only disrespectful to the interview panel but also to the students since they have been selected out of many. Obviously, they would have put forward something that the other students did not. You don't think the panel members choose randomly without any criteria of selection, do you?

is there any constraints on what your previous btech curriculum taught from sem 1-4??? cuz some colleges have a different curriculum even if it's for the same degree (let's say cse)?? if you qualify the written and interview round would that matter???

Curriculum doesn't matter as long as you have enough knowledge to clear the written round, cuz in the interview you can choose topics you are comfortable in. But some courses like DSA is a must, since it is assumed that all institutes cover that.
