How to Read the NIT Delhi Cut Off
- Half of the B.Tech seats at NIT Delhi are filled under the Home State quota, for candidates who passed Class 12 from Delhi; the other half go to Other State candidates. Each quota has its own closing rank, which is why the tables show both.
- OPEN seats use your JEE Main Common Rank List (CRL) rank. EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST seats use your category rank.
- A closing rank is the last rank admitted in the final round. If your rank is at or below it, you were in range last year; cut offs move every year.
- Ranks marked P are from the preparatory rank list.
