You can see what Googlers said in the blog:


The window to submit a registration application will open at 9AM PST on March 8, 2016 and remain open until 5PM PST on March 10, 2016, so you’ll have plenty of time to apply. We’ll randomly select applicants from among all of the qualified applications once the window closes on March 10, 2016 and notify those selected via email. The order in which registration applications are received has no bearing on the final outcome.


If you got selected then you need to pay fees of $900. So guys get ready to fork up this much amount if you want to attend the Google I/O 2016.
