About IIT Delhi
South Delhi moves at its own pace, defined by the quiet historical ruins of Hauz Khas on one side and the energetic, chai-fueled debates at the SDA Market cafes on the other. In this corner of the capital, the pursuit of academic rigor is tangible, and right at the center of this environment sits the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. As students here, we adapt to a demanding academic schedule, offset by the opportunity to work alongside professors on high-impact research in areas like sustainable energy and computational mechanics.

How to Apply
Admissions depend completely on national-level entrance test rankings, with the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) and the Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) managing the allocation process. Once the national testing authorities publish JEE Advanced or GATE results, the institute releases its branch-specific opening and closing ranks. Candidates whose ranks fall within these brackets are allotted seats during the sequential counseling rounds.
To secure your allocated branch, you must log into the respective national portal during the designated round window to accept the seat. The process requires submitting verified academic documents online, choosing to freeze your branch allocation, and paying the initial seat acceptance fee through the central platform to prevent forfeiture.
