Together they offer UG, PG and doctoral programmes in the field of Engineering, Design, Science and Management. The admission process is completely online and is conducted via the official website of DTU, DSM, USME or related counselling bodies. 

Most popular for its BTech programme, Delhi Technological University (DTU) admission for BTech is based on JEE Main scores and the entire process of counselling is conducted by CMAT, Delhi. DTU admission to all the remaining courses is based on national/ university-level entrance exams, such as UCEED,  GATE,  CMAT,  CMAT, among others. However, there are a few MBA specialised courses and BBA, admission to which is offered based on the past qualifying exam  (UG level) followed by an interview round.

As per the JEE Main Round 1 cutoff released by DTU for admission to the BTech programme, BTech CSE, IT, Software Engineering, Mathematics & Computer Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering are the top five and most competitive specialisations offered here. The below table mentions the closing ranks of round 1 for all these specialisations for the past three years. 

Having said that, the selection of specialisations must be dependent on the choice and interest of the candidate before anything else. 

UCEED dates are out for admission. DTU students can check the complete schedule. The university will release the scorecard between March and July.

The application fee for all the MBA courses at DTU is INR 1,500. This fee component for the General MBA programme is the same for reserved category candidates. However, for SC/ST and PwD candidates, the registration fee is INR 750  (for MBA in BA, FBE and Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Venture Development) which needs to be paid online. The registration process will remain incomplete till the submission of the registration fee. For all courses, the application fee can be paid while filling out the application form on the official website.

For BTech admission, DTU accepts JEE Main followed by JAC counselling and the entire admission process is conducted via Joint Admission Counselling (JAC) Delhi. To be eligible, candidates must fulfil the below eligibility criteria:

• Delhi Region candidates (85% of seats): Aspirants passing the qualifying exam from a recognised school/ college/ institute located within the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi will be considered for the Delhi Region only
• Outside Delhi Region candidates (15% of seats): Aspirants passing the qualifying examination from a recognised school/ college/ institute located outside the National Capital Territory of Delhi will be considered for Outside Delhi Region only.

The branch-wise highest package recorded during DTU BTech placements 2025 is mentioned below: 

JEE Main rank is accepted by both DTU and IIT Delhi, followed by the JAC Delhi counselling process for admission to various BTech specialisations. According to the JAC Delhi Round 4 cutoff 2026, the closing rank for CSE admission for the General HS category was 14806. While for IIIT Delhi, it was 1129.

Therefore, going by the cutoffs for both institutions, DTU is relatively easier for CSE admissions. Candidates who qualified for DTU can view other parameters to make an informed decision. 

During the DTU MBA placements 2025, the average salary package offered for the MBA DSM course was INR 7.74 LPA. For the MBA USME, the salary package offered was INR 7.55 LPA. 

Both these institutes are decent options for BBA in all the aspects, such as its placements and fee structure. But most students choose DTU over NSUT because of the huge campus and big crowd. However, selecting a college depends completely on the choice of the students and their requirements. For more reviews on BBA from DTU, check out the verified students' reviews on Shiksha.

Highest number of offers were made in MTech DSC branch followed by AFI branch during the MTech placement drive. The total number of offers made in these 2 branch was 26 and 23. 20 and 19 offers were made in MTech CSE and VLS branch. 17 offers each were made in ISY and STE branch this year.

With a JEE Main rank between 30000 and 40000, it is not possible to get admission to any of the BTech branches for the General AI category. For BTech admission, the DTU JEE Main cutoff 2026 for Round 1 ranged between 12 and 15709 for students belonging to the General AI quota. So, candidates seeking admission must target a cutoff rank of up to 15000 and below to secure a seat at this institute. 

As per the latest report, the highest package offered to BDes students during DTU placements in 2024 stood at INR 1 core per annum. The same is tabulated below:

Delhi Technological University (DTU), is defenitely a Tier 1 college. DTU was established in 1941 and the oldest IIT was established in around 1951 . DTU Delhi is accredited by the NAAC with an 'A' grade and NBA and is also approved by the University Grant Commission (UGC) and AICTE. DTU College is ranked 62 under the Overall category by NIRF 2025,  42 under the University category by NIRF 2026, and 30 under the Engineering category by NIRF 2026. The university is ISO-certified and was earlier affiliated with the University of Delhi.

For 2026, four regular and one spot round seat allotment will be released for DTU admission to the BTech course. The cutoffs are decided following the below-mentioned factors, including JEE Main score, category and the number of seats available for the course.

DTU is indeed a great college for engineering, specially B.Tech. Since it takes students through JEE Mains, the quality of students is also very good.

Being a very old government college, it has gained immense recognition as well. Syllabus is a bit outdated. The subjects in the first year are common for all, irrespective of branches. Classes are held regularly, though there are bunks as well during exams, fests etc.

The professors are well educated, most of them have done PhD. Some of the teachers are good, interesting while some make the subject very boring and dull. Some of them would just copy the things from the book without actually making the students understand. I would advice to be regular in class and always stay in touch with the syllabus. The study during engineering is comparatively easier than that during JEE and so one can easily cope up.

DTU is not just great in terms of academics or placements, but the fests and societies also help a student to develop as an individual. It makes you a much better person rather than just a bookish engineer.

The selection criteria for BTech at DTU is entrance based and states that having a JEE Mains rank is the minimum requirement for final seat allotment. In addition, students must go through the JAC counselling process to get a seat at DTU. After the result of JEE Main, JAC counselling for seat allotment is conducted in four rounds. Additional spot rounds are conducted for vacant seats (if available). 

DTU BTech cutoff 2026 has been released based on JEE Main, followed by JAC Delhi counselling. For CSE, the JEE Main Round 4 closing rank is 7060 for students belonging to the General AI quota. Check out the table below to view the round-wise closing ranks: 

Yes, DTU offers admission to candidates also who have AMIE/ AMIS. AMIICHE/ AMIIM/ Grad IETE or those who possess a BSc/ Diploma in Engineering degree. Such candidates are not required to have a GATE score for admission to DTU. For more details on this subject, students are advised to reach out to the admission office. 

An admitted candidate can withdraw his/her admission during the counselling period by submitting online request through JAC Delhi portal on or before last
date of withdrawal mentioned in counselling schedule.
a) If the candidate withdraws his/her admission on or before the last date of counselling schedule, his Seat Acceptance Fee (INR 95,000) will be refunded without interest after deducting INR1000 as processing charge.
b) Fee refunds for all withdrawals will be processed within 20 days after last date of withdrawal

If we talk about the reviews, DTU is better than NSIT. Students have shown great interest in the DTU placements and quality of education over the years. Whereas, NSIT is also gaining popularity among the students. Which is better or best depends on the student's preference.
