IIT Delhi Admission 2026 without JEE Main is possible for the following:

The course outline of mechanical in IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay is similar and is quite well aligned with the course structure of top ranked international universities and the mechanical is one of the most desired and demanded branches in the IITs. The universities stand on similar QS ranking level and the facility and quality of infrastructure on average is almost the same in both the campuses, IITB has a lake, a pretty larger campus than that of IITD whereas IITD stands in a very desired location of Delhi ( in Hauz Khas) which stands very close to the international airport and various railway stations and is comparatively very green and clean than the outer Delhi. The trends of placement or students going for further studies differ very less and if you are really relying on placements to be a deciding factor, you'll still be in doubt. If we look at the opening and closing ranks of the department in both the colleges, the mechanical in IITB opens before it starts at IITD and also closes some numbers before, but the range is quite same. Many people choose IITB for its past trend or some local variables and similarly people also choose IITD if they aspire to go for civil services as Delhi is the hub for the preparation for UPSC and other civil services and again the accessibility of the nearby regions. I'd say both of the campus stand on the same level if the department is considered, the selection is totally depend on the individual depending on the local variables that affects him/her.

IIT Delhi admission is based on the JEE Advanced. Candiadtes with good scores in JEE Advanced are offered admission in IIT Delhi. To get admission in IIT Delhi, students must prepare for JEE Advanced from Class 11. Students must focus on core subjects and practice mock tests for JEE Advanced. 

Do not choose IIT Delhi with low JEE Rank. Right BTech branch is important for a successful fast-tracked engineering career such as software developer, data scientist, or tech entrepreneur. Choosing a less popular engineering branch just for an IIT tag is often proved as a bad decision due to less placement opportunities.

Choose IIT Tag over a popular BTech branch in a private university only if you are interested in the core subject you are getting or want to pursue higher studies in the same field.

According to Shiksha counselling data, 85% of candidates appearing for JEE Mains choose private BTech colleges to fulfil their CSE engineering dream.
