Delhi region vs outside Delhi
Your region depends on where you passed Class 12, not where you live. If your school is in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, you compete for the 85% Delhi region seats; otherwise for the 15% outside Delhi seats. For NIOS or Patrachar Vidyalaya candidates, the location of the examination centre decides. Outside Delhi seats are far fewer, so they close at much better ranks.
Eligibility (2026 brochure)
- DTU, NSUT, IGDTUW, DSEU: at least 60% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics together, English passed, and a JEE Main (Paper 1) rank. Relaxed to 55% for OBC-NCL and Defence, 50% for SC, ST and PwD.
- IIIT-Delhi: at least 70% in the best five subjects including PCM, with at least 70% in Mathematics, and a JEE Main rank (relaxed for reserved categories).
- B.Arch (NSUT, IGDTUW): JEE Main Paper 2 with 45% in Class 12 PCM and English.
