The participating institutions include:

• Delhi Technological University
• Netaji Subhas University of Technology
• Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women
• Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi
• Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University

These institutes offer admission to various BTech and BArch programmes through centralized counselling.

Eligibility Criteria for Admission

Candidates must satisfy the eligibility conditions prescribed by JAC Delhi to participate in the counselling process. The eligibility rules vary slightly for different institutes and programmes.

For most BTech programmes in DTU, NSUT, and IGDTUW, candidates must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics along with English as a subject. A minimum aggregate percentage may also be required.

For admission into IIIT Delhi, students generally require higher marks in Mathematics and overall subjects. According to available details, candidates need at least 70% marks in Mathematics and in the best five subjects combined.

Candidates must also possess a valid JEE Main 2026 score.

Reservation Policy

JAC Delhi counselling follows a reservation system as per Delhi Government rules. A large percentage of seats are reserved for Delhi region students.

As per the available information:

• 85% seats are reserved for Delhi region candidates
• 15% seats are available for outside Delhi candidates

Apart from this, reservation benefits are available for categories such as SC, ST, OBC-NCL, PwD, and defence quota candidates.

Students claiming reservation benefits must upload valid certificates during the counselling process.

Counselling Fee and Seat Acceptance Fee

Candidates participating in JAC Delhi counselling will have to pay a counselling registration fee online. Reports suggest that the registration-cum-counselling fee is around Rs 1,500 along with transaction charges.

After seat allotment, students who wish to confirm their seats will also need to pay a seat acceptance fee. This fee amount may vary according to the institute guidelines.

Students are advised to keep online payment options ready in advance to avoid technical issues during the final registration period.

Choice Filling is Very Important

Experts often consider the choice filling stage as the most crucial part of the counselling process. During this stage, candidates have to arrange colleges and branches according to their preference.

Since seat allotment depends on rank, category, seat availability, and filled choices, students should carefully plan their options.

Candidates are encouraged to include both dream and safe options while filling choices. Filling more choices usually improves the possibility of getting a seat in later rounds.

Seat Allotment Process

The JAC Delhi seat allotment process will be conducted in multiple rounds. Seats will be allotted based on:

• JEE Main rank
• Category
• Delhi or outside Delhi region quota
• Availability of seats
• Order of filled choices

Once a seat is allotted, candidates will have to complete online reporting and document verification. Those satisfied with their allotted seats may freeze their admission. Others can participate in further rounds for seat upgradation.

Spot rounds may also be conducted later if seats remain vacant.

Previous Year Cutoff Trends

The counselling authority will release round-wise opening and closing ranks after every allotment round. Students can use previous year cutoffs to estimate their admission chances.

Branches such as Computer Science Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Electronics, and Information Technology generally witness very high competition in colleges like DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi.

Candidates with lower ranks may consider newer branches or institutes with comparatively relaxed cutoffs.

Documents Required During Counselling

Students should keep all important documents ready before registration starts. Some of the major documents required during counselling include:

• JEE Main 2026 scorecard
• JEE Main admit card
• Class 10 marksheet and certificate
• Class 12 marksheet and certificate
• Category certificate, if applicable
• PwD certificate, if applicable
• Passport-size photographs
• Identity proof
• Delhi region proof, if required

Any mismatch in uploaded information may lead to rejection during verification.

Official Website for Registration

Candidates can complete the entire counselling process online through the official portal of JAC Delhi. The website contains the admission brochure, counselling schedule, notices, and seat allotment updates.

The official portal is:

Students are advised to regularly check the website for latest announcements and counselling updates.

Growing Competition Expected This Year

With increasing interest in engineering and technology programmes, competition for admission through JAC Delhi is expected to remain high in 2026. Institutes like DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi continue to attract top-performing JEE Main candidates from across the country.

Experts believe that early preparation, proper choice filling strategy, and regular monitoring of counselling updates can significantly help students during the admission process.

Candidates are therefore advised not to wait until the last date for registration and document uploads.
