NIT Delhi Engineering and Architecture Courses & Fees 2025

With a 72 percentile in JEE Main and General category, your rank would be around 3.1–3.3 lakh, which is far beyond the cutoff for NIT Delhi. Even for less demanded branches, General category cutoffs at NIT Delhi usually close below 40,000–50,000.

So, admission to NIT Delhi is not possible with 72 percentile in General category.

Hello there,

You need to have an OBC certificate issued by the Delhi state government to avail the Delhi home state quota along with OBC reservation in NIT Delhi.

Here's why:

• Home State Quota: To be eligible for the home state quota in any NIT, you must have completed your Class 12th from a school located within that specific state (in your case, Delhi).
  
  
• OBC Reservation under Home State: While you possess a Central OBC certificate, for availing the OBC reservation under the Delhi home state quota, the certificate is generally required to be issued by the Government of NCT of Delhi . This is because the state-specific reservations are implemented based on the state's own list of OBC categories.

What you should do:

1. Apply for an OBC Certificate from the Delhi Government: If your caste is listed in the OBC list of the Delhi government, you should immediately apply for an OBC certificate issued by the competent authority in Delhi. You can find information on how to apply on the website of the Delhi Revenue Department (search for "OBC Certificate Delhi").
   
   
2. Check NIT Delhi's Admission Brochure: Carefully review the admission brochure or the official website of NIT Delhi for the specific requirements regarding category certificates for home state quota. They will have the most accurate information for their admissions.
   
   
3. Contact NIT Delhi Admissions: If the information isn't clear, directly contact the admissions office of NIT Delhi to clarify whether a Central OBC certificate is sufficient for availing both home state and OBC reservation, or if a Delhi state-issued certificate is mandatory.

In conclusion, while your Central OBC certificate establishes your category at the national level, for availing state-specific benefits like the Delhi home state quota with OBC reservation in NIT Delhi, you will most likely need an OBC certificate issued by the Delhi government. It's crucial to obtain the correct certificate to ensure you can avail all the applicable reservations.

Hi aspirant,

If you have a Delhi CBSE reservation, you will be eligible for a seat under the home state quota, which accounts for approximately 50% of the available seats . After this, your admission will depend on the rank and percentile you achieve in the JEE Mains exam.

Popular branches, such as Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Electronics Engineering, generally have higher cutoffs.

To secure a seat in these fields, you typically need a percentile above 98-99 or a rank between 10,000 and 15,000.
