JAC Delhi Counselling 2026: Registration Starts May 28 at jacdelhi.admissions.nic.in

JAC Delhi (Joint Admission Counselling) is the centralized counselling body for admission to engineering programmes (B.Tech) in Delhi government-funded engineering colleges, including DTU (Delhi Technological University), NSUT (Netaji Subhas University of Technology), IGDTUW (Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women), and IIIT-Delhi. The counselling is conducted based on JEE Main scores and provides admission to undergraduate engineering courses across various specializations. Registration for JAC Delhi 2026 begins on May 28, 2026, and candidates who have appeared in JEE Main 2026 are eligible to participate. This is not a job recruitment but an admission process for engineering education, which prepares students for careers in technical fields including banking technology roles.

Selection and Admission Process

1. JEE Main Score Submission: Candidates must have valid JEE Main 2026 scores (percentile and All India Rank). The counselling uses JEE Main Paper 1 scores as the primary selection criterion.

1. Registration and Choice Filling: Candidates register on JAC Delhi portal, fill choices of college-branch combinations in order of preference (up to 100+ choices can be filled and rearranged).

1. Merit List Preparation: Separate merit lists are prepared based on JEE Main percentile/rank for each category (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD, etc.) and gender (for gender-specific reservations).

1. Seat Allotment Rounds: Multiple rounds of seat allotment (typically 3-5 rounds) are conducted. Seats are allotted based on merit, choice preference, category, and seat availability using automated algorithm.

1. Document Verification: Candidates allotted seats must report to the designated college with original documents (10th certificate, 12th marksheet, JEE scorecard, category certificate, domicile certificate, etc.) for physical/online verification.

1. Fee Payment and Admission: After document verification, candidates must pay admission fee and semester fee within stipulated time to confirm admission. Fee can be paid online or at designated banks.

1. Upgradation Option: In subsequent rounds, candidates can opt for upgradation to higher preference choices while retaining current seat, or can freeze the current allotment.

1. Spot Counselling: If seats remain vacant after regular rounds, spot counselling rounds are conducted for fill-up of remaining seats on first-come-first-served basis.

This is an Admission Process for B.Tech Education

JAC Delhi counselling is for admission to undergraduate engineering programmes, not a job recruitment. Students pursue 4-year B.Tech degrees at participating colleges.

Typical Education Cost (Indicative)

Post-Graduation Salary (Typical Starting Packages)

After completing B.Tech from DTU/NSUT/IIIT-Delhi:

Packages vary by branch, college, student profile, and market conditions. These are indicative figures based on recent placement reports.

After completing B.Tech through JAC Delhi colleges (DTU, NSUT, IGDTUW, IIIT-Delhi), graduates pursue careers in core engineering, IT, software development, data science, banking technology, consulting, and research. Many students opt for higher education (M.Tech, MBA, MS abroad) or appear for competitive exams like UPSC, GATE, CAT. Alumni from these institutions hold senior positions in top MNCs, startups, government organizations, and academic institutions. Career progression typically moves from entry-level engineer to senior engineer, technical lead, manager, and eventually senior management or specialist roles with packages ranging from ₹6 LPA to ₹50+ LPA based on experience and domain.

JAC Delhi counselling does not issue admit cards as it is an admission counselling process, not an entrance examination. Candidates use their JEE Main 2026 admit card and scorecard for appearing in the JEE Main exam conducted by NTA. For JAC Delhi counselling rounds, candidates receive seat allotment letters which can be downloaded from the official portal jacdelhi.admissions.nic.in after each round of counselling. These allotment letters must be carried during document verification and college reporting along with original certificates and JEE Main scorecard.

JAC Delhi counselling results are declared in the form of seat allotment lists after each round. The first round results typically release 5-7 days after choice locking deadline, with subsequent rounds following at 5-7 day intervals. Results are published on the official portal jacdelhi.admissions.nic.in where candidates can login using their credentials to check allotted seat (college, branch, category). The allotment letter is downloadable immediately after result declaration. Final admission is confirmed only after document verification and fee payment. Waitlisted candidates are informed about vacancy-based allotment in subsequent rounds.

JAC Delhi cutoff is determined by the lowest JEE Main rank/percentile at which seat allotment is made in each college-branch-category combination. Cutoffs vary significantly across colleges (DTU has highest cutoffs, followed by NSUT, IIIT-Delhi, IGDTUW) and branches (Computer Science has highest cutoffs, followed by Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical). Typical General category cutoffs for Computer Science: DTU (JEE Main rank below 2,500), NSUT (rank below 4,500), IIIT-Delhi (rank below 8,000). For SC/ST/OBC categories, cutoffs are 5-15 times lower. Reserved category cutoffs are approximately 30-50% lower than General cutoffs. Cutoffs fluctuate yearly based on exam difficulty, number of applicants, and seat availability.
