JAC Delhi 2026

The JAC Delhi 2026 (Joint Admission Counselling, Delhi) process will be conducted for admission into B.Tech and B.Arch programs offered by the four major technical institutions in Delhi: DTU (Delhi Technological University), NSUT (Netaji Subhas University of Technology), IGDTUW (Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women), and IIIT Delhi. JAC Delhi does not conduct any entrance exam of its own. Instead, admissions are strictly based on JEE Main 2026 scores for B.Tech programs, while B.Arch admissions at IGDTUW may require NATA scores, depending on the institute’s guidelines for the year. The official counselling schedule for JAC Delhi 2026 is expected to be released in June 2026, shortly after the JEE Main results are announced.

The JAC Delhi 2026 counselling process will consist of online registration, counselling fee payment, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting. Seat allotment is conducted purely on a merit basis, with candidates ranked according to their JEE Main All India Rank (AIR), reservation category, and choices filled during the counselling rounds. IIIT Delhi also considers bonus marks for specific achievements—such as Olympiads, sports, and innovation awards—when calculating its unique admission score, which is combined with the JEE rank according to institute rules.

Seats offered through JAC Delhi include Home State (Delhi) and Outside Delhi quotas, SC/ST/OBC/EWS categories, and other special reservations such as Defense and PwD. After seat allotment, candidates must confirm their admission by paying the fees and completing the document verification process as per each institute’s timeline. Because of the high demand for branches like CSE, IT, ECE, and Mechanical Engineering at top institutes such as DTU and NSUT, JAC Delhi remains one of the most competitive engineering admission processes in India.

Further details on eligibility, seat matrix, institute-specific rules, cancellation policies, and detailed counselling steps for JAC Delhi 2026 will be covered in the upcoming sections.
