NIT Delhi cutoff — frequently asked questions

What was the Computer Science and Engineering cutoff at NIT Delhi in 2024?
In 2024, Computer Science and Engineering (Bachelor of Technology) at NIT Delhi closed at JEE Main rank 8,018 in the final JoSAA round, for Other State quota, Open category, gender-neutral seats. The opening rank that year was 2,438.
What rank do I need for NIT Delhi?
It depends entirely on the branch. In 2024, the most competitive branch at NIT Delhi was Computer Science and Engineering, closing at JEE Main rank 8,018, while Civil Engineering closed at 27,045 — so the realistic range across 8 branches was roughly 8,018 to 27,045 (Other State quota, Open category, gender-neutral). These are past results, not a guarantee for future years.
Which branch at NIT Delhi is hardest to get into?
Based on 2024 JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Computer Science and Engineering is the most competitive branch at NIT Delhi, closing at JEE Main rank 8,018 for Open category, gender-neutral seats under Other State quota.
Has NIT Delhi Computer Science and Engineering become harder to get into?
Comparing JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Delhi went from rank 5,426 in 2016 to 8,018 in 2024. A lower closing rank means tougher competition, so it has become about 48% less competitive over that period, for Open category gender-neutral seats.
What is the category-wise cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Delhi?
For Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Delhi in 2024 (Other State quota, gender-neutral seats), the JoSAA final-round closing ranks by category were: OPEN 8,018, EWS 1,419, OBC-NCL 3,444, SC 1,584, ST 443. Note these are not directly comparable: the Open figure is a Common Rank List rank, while EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST figures are ranks within each category's own list, so a smaller reserved-category number does not mean that category was harder to get into.

About this data

Ranks are final-round JoSAA seat-allotment opening and closing ranks, sourced from the official JoSAA Opening & Closing Rank tables. IIT ranks are JEE Advanced ranks; NIT, IIIT and GFTI ranks are JEE Main ranks.

Data currently runs through 2024. Years before 2018 predate the female-supernumerary split, so those figures reflect a single combined pool rather than a separate gender-neutral one.

These are historical results, not predictions. Cutoffs shift every year with paper difficulty, seat matrix and applicant numbers — always confirm against JoSAA or CSAB before making an admission decision.
