JAC Delhi Seat Allotment 2026

Seat allotment under JAC Delhi 2026 happens in four regular rounds (Round 1 to 4), followed by an Upgradation Round, then Round 5 (mop-up), and finally an online Spot Round if seats remain vacant. Each round follows a specific process that candidates must complete within the given timeline to retain their seat.

• Round 1: Seat allotted based on rank and choices. Allotted candidates must pay the Seat Acceptance Fee online, download the Provisional Admission Letter, and physically report to the allotted institute with original documents. Failure to pay the fee or report physically within the specified period leads to automatic cancellation of the seat and disqualification from subsequent rounds.
• Rounds 2 to 4: Candidates with seats on Float are automatically considered for upgradation to a better choice. Candidates who Freeze their seat opt out of further upgradation. Only newly allotted, upgraded, or cancelled-admission candidates need to take action in subsequent rounds. An Upgradation Round follows Round 4 and precedes Round 5. Physical reporting is not required again after Round 1.
• Spot Round: Conducted if seats remain vacant after Round 5 and the Upgradation Round. Open to registered candidates who did not get a seat in any regular round or whose admission was cancelled. A separate spot round counselling fee applies as per the official notification. If a seat is confirmed, candidates must pay the seat acceptance fee of Rs 95,000, which is adjusted against the total course fee when they join the institute.

The allotment result for each round is published under the candidate's login on the official portal. Always check your allotment status and act within the deadline for each round.

JAC Delhi Colleges and Courses 2026

Five government-funded technical universities participate in JAC Delhi 2026 counselling. Each institute offers different programmes with their own eligibility and admission criteria.

JAC Delhi 2026 Participating Institutes and Programmes

Eligibility criteria differ by institute. For BTech at DTU, NSUT, IGDTUW, and DSEU, candidates must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English, and scored a minimum 60 percent aggregate in PCM. For IIIT-Delhi BTech, the minimum requirement is 70 percent aggregate in the best 5 subjects including PCM, and 70 percent or more specifically in Mathematics in Class 12. For BArch at NSUT and IGDTUW, candidates need a minimum 50 percent aggregate in Class 12 along with a valid JEE Main Paper-II rank.

JAC Delhi Cutoff 2026

JAC Delhi 2026 cutoffs will be published after each round of seat allotment on the official portal. Since counselling is currently in its early stages, the 2026 cutoffs are not yet available. Candidates can refer to JAC Delhi 2025 Round 1 cutoffs as a reference to gauge their admission chances. The table below shows approximate 2025 Round 1 closing ranks for the General category under the Delhi (Home State) quota.

CSE at DTU and NSUT consistently sees the tightest competition, with General category Delhi students typically requiring ranks within the top 5,000. IIIT-Delhi CSE with AI has been among the most competitive programmes in recent years. Candidates targeting seats in later rounds can expect slightly relaxed closing ranks as compared to Round 1.
