Factors Affecting IIIT Delhi Cutoff 2026

The IIIT Delhi cutoff is influenced by several variables:

  1. Region Quota: The 85% Delhi vs 15% Outside Delhi split creates a massive difference in closing ranks.

  2. JAC Delhi Trends: Since admission is centralized with DTU and NSUT, the preference of top-rankers across these three colleges shifts the cutoffs.

  3. Bonus Points: IIIT Delhi is unique in providing Bonus Points (for Olympiads, Sports, Culture, etc.) which are added to the percentile, effectively changing the merit rank.

  4. Seat Intake: Any increase in seats for new specializations like CSAI or CSEcon can lead to a relaxation in ranks.

FAQs on IIIT Delhi Cutoff

Q: What is the IIIT Delhi JEE Main cutoff 2026 of the B.Tech course?

A: IIIT Delhi JEE Main cutoff 2026 is yet to be released for the B.Tech course. General category students are expected to have an Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi JEE Main cutoff of 8,000 – 11,000 rank.

Q: How does the Delhi Region reservation impact the IIIT Delhi cutoff ranks? 

A: IIIT Delhi follows a strict reservation policy where 85% of seats are reserved for candidates who completed their Class 12 education within the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. This regional quota significantly impacts the cutoffs; Delhi residents can often secure admission with ranks that are four to five times higher than those required for Outside Delhi candidates. For example, while ECE might close at 6,000 for outsiders, a Delhi-based student might gain entry with a rank near 30,000.

Q: What are the unique "Bonus Points" in IIIT Delhi admission and how do they affect the cutoff? 

A: IIIT Delhi is unique for awarding "Bonus Points" (up to 2 points) to B.Tech applicants for achievements in Olympiads, Procon Junior, National Talent Search exams, sports, and culture. These points are added to the candidate’s JEE Main percentile to create a new "IIITD Merit Rank." This system can significantly shift a student's position in the merit list, allowing those with specialized skills to bypass others with slightly higher raw JEE scores, effectively altering the final admission cutoffs.

Q: What is the expected GATE cutoff for M.Tech Computer Science at IIIT Delhi for 2026? 

A: To secure a seat in the M.Tech CSE program for the 2026 session, General category candidates typically need a GATE score in the range of 675 to 710. The cutoff varies across specializations such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Engineering, and Information Security. Reserved category candidates (OBC/SC/ST) usually see a relaxation, with scores ranging from 450 to 650. Candidates without a GATE score may also apply through the institute's PG-CAT entrance exam, which follows its own independent merit-based cutoff criteria.

Q: Does IIIT Delhi offer admission to B.Tech programs through any criteria other than JEE Main? 

A: Yes, IIIT Delhi offers alternative pathways for specific branches. For B.Tech in Computer Science and Design (CSD), a limited number of seats are filled using UCEED ranks. Additionally, for the B.Tech in Computer Science and Social Sciences (CSSS), there is a dedicated quota for students from a non-science background (Humanities and Commerce) based on their Class 12 board marks. However, the vast majority of engineering seats are strictly allocated through the Joint Admission Counseling (JAC) Delhi portal based on JEE Main scores.

Q: What are the factors that cause the IIIT Delhi cutoff to fluctuate every year? 

A: Several factors influence the annual cutoff, including the difficulty level of the JEE Main exam and the total number of applicants. A major factor is the preference trend among top rankers between IIIT Delhi, DTU, and NSUT. If more students prioritize AI or Machine Learning specializations at IIIT Delhi, the cutoffs for those specific branches drop (requiring better ranks). Changes in the seat matrix, such as the introduction of new specialized B.Tech programs, also play a crucial role in rank relaxation.

Q: How can I check the official round-wise cutoffs for IIIT Delhi 2026?

A: The official cutoffs are released round-wise by the Joint Admission Committee (JAC) Delhi on their official website (jacdelhi.admissions.nic.in). After each round of counseling, the "Opening and Closing Ranks" PDF is published, categorized by region (Delhi/Outside Delhi) and reservation status. For postgraduate programs like M.Tech and MBA, candidates must monitor the IIIT Delhi institutional website’s admission portal. It is essential to check the specific "Closing Rank" for your category to determine your chances in subsequent spot rounds or sliding rounds.
