The controversial ILA scheme was discontinued in 1969. Sudents who passed matriculation in 1969 were admitted based on total marks. If I remember correctly lowest marks admitted to medical was 400 while RIT was 378. There were many students who chose RIT (or other majors) though they were qualified (i.e. scored more than 400) to go for medical.
