The Joint Admission Committee (JAC), Delhi has released the Round 1 cutoffs for the 2026 counselling process. These cutoffs, based on JEE Main All-India ranks, determine seat allocation for participating institutions. Students can now check their eligibility and offered seats on the official JAC Delhi portal.
Round 1 Cutoff Details
The released ranks indicate the opening and closing scores for various engineering branches at Delhi Technological University (DTU), Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), and Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-D). Branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Information Technology (IT), and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) typically have lower closing ranks due to high demand and strong placement records.
Cutoffs are presented for both Delhi-quota and All-India quota seats. Delhi-quota seats generally have lower closing ranks. Separate cutoffs apply to different reserved categories. Students should consult the JAC website for category-specific rank information.
Important Deadlines and Next Steps
Students who received an allotment in Round 1 must act within the specified timeframe. Failure to report and accept a seat may result in its forfeiture. Alternatively, students can choose to freeze their allocated seat and withdraw from subsequent counselling rounds.
For students who did not receive an allotment or are unsatisfied with their current offer, reviewing the opening and closing ranks is essential. This analysis helps in planning for Rounds 2, subsequent rounds, and potential spot admissions, where ranks often become less competitive.
To ensure a smooth admission process, candidates should have all necessary documents prepared. Paying close attention to the JAC website during seat acceptance windows is crucial. It is also advisable to prioritize preferred campuses and branches in advance.
