There are two kinds of H1 tracks - cap and cap exempt
The H1 cap means that the US government has put a limit - a cap - on the number of H1b visas it will issue every year. When it's reached, the cap, quota, limit is filled for the year.
Cap exempt programs mean that they don't have to worry about the government reaching the limit because that rule doesn't apply to them. They can get visas issued for their institution.
Doing IM, then GI, on a J1 visa is the preferred way to go.
Good luck
