    FAQs on NIT Delhi Cutoff

    Q: What is the lowest percentile for NIT Delhi?

    A: To get admission into NIT Delhi, a General category student typically needs a JEE Main percentile around 96 to 97, which usually secures a seat in Civil Engineering. However, for reserved categories like SC, ST, or OBC, the required percentile is significantly lower, often ranging between 85 and 91, depending on the specific branch and quota.

    Q: Can I get direct admission to NIT Delhi?

    A: No. Candidates seeking NIT Delhi admission must meet the university's cutoff criteria and secure a valid score in the entrance exam. Refer to the article above for the course-wise cutoff.

    Q: Which entrance exams are accepted by the National Institute of Technology Delhi?

    A: National Institute of Technology Delhi accepts entrance exams like JEE Main, GATE, NIMCET, etc.

    Q: Is there a Delhi quota in NIT Delhi? 

    A: Yes, NIT Delhi has a specific Home State quota. 50% of the seats are strictly reserved for students who have passed their Class 12 examinations from Delhi/NCR. This quota is very helpful for local Delhi students, as the cutoff ranks for them are generally lower compared to the All India Other State candidates.

    Q: What is the lowest rank to get into NIT Delhi?  

    A: For the General category, the lowest rank to enter NIT Delhi is typically between 34,000 and 36,000, usually for Civil Engineering. However, for students in categories like SC or ST, the acceptable ranks are much lower, sometimes extending into the lakhs. The exact rank depends heavily on whether you are applying through the Home State or Other State quota.

    Q: How much has the CSE cutoff changed from 2024 to 2025? 

    A: The competition for Computer Science at NIT Delhi has definitely increased. In 2024, the General category cutoff closed around 10,174, but in 2025, it tightened to approximately 8,899. This shift of over 1,000 ranks indicates that higher-ranking students are now prioritising NIT Delhi, making it tougher to secure a seat in this popular branch.

    Q: Is NIT Delhi better than dtu? 

    A: Generally, DTU is considered ahead of NIT Delhi because of its long history, massive campus, and very strong alumni network. However, NIT Delhi is growing rapidly and offers the prestigious "NIT" tag, which is valuable. While most students still prefer DTU for its established placements, NIT Delhi is becoming a very strong competitor for top rankers.

    Q: How much does the cutoff drop in CSAB Special Rounds? 

    A: The CSAB Special Rounds can be a lifesaver. At NIT Delhi, cutoffs can drop by 5,000 to 10,000 ranks for lower branches like Civil or Mechanical compared to the JoSAA Round 6 closing ranks. However, for popular branches like CSE, the drop is usually very minimal, so don't rely on it entirely for top-tier seats.

    Q: Is the Home State cutoff really beneficial for Delhi students? 

    A: Yes, the Home State quota at NIT Delhi is a massive advantage. For branches like Electrical or Mechanical, the closing rank for Delhi students can be 10,000 to 15,000 ranks higher (easier to get) than for Other State students. This effectively means you can secure a seat with a slightly lower JEE Main score if you completed Class 12 in Delhi.

    Q: What is the minimum rank for SC students in CSE? 

    A: For SC category students, the CSE cutoff at NIT Delhi usually closes around 1,500 to 2,000 (Category Rank). This is much more relaxed compared to the General category. If you have a decent JEE Main score and valid category documents, your chances for top branches are significantly higher than for unreserved candidates.

    Q: Do female candidates get a relaxed cutoff at NIT Delhi? 

    A: Absolutely. NIT Delhi follows the supernumerary quota for female candidates. The closing rank for girls is consistently lower (meaning easier) than the gender-neutral cutoff. For example, if CSE closes at 9,000 for boys, it might extend to 12,000 or 13,000 for girls, giving female aspirants a distinct advantage in securing their preferred branch.

    Q: What is the safe GATE score for M.Tech CSE at NIT Delhi? 

    A: To be safe for M.Tech in CSE at NIT Delhi, a General category student should target a GATE score above 600. While the cutoff might dip to 550 in later rounds or for specialisations like Analytics, a score of 600+ ensures you are in a comfortable zone for the first few rounds of CCMT counselling.
