IPU vs JAC Delhi
Both are Delhi counsellings on JEE Main rank with an 85:15 Delhi split, but they are separate. JAC Delhi covers DTU, NSUT, IGDTUW, IIIT-Delhi and DSEU; GGSIPU covers its own University Schools and its many affiliated engineering colleges. Delhi students usually register for both, plus JoSAA.
