USICT Delhi B.Tech Selection Process

The JEE Main Paper 1 All India Rank is the only basis for selection. Neither USICT nor GGSIPU holds another written examination or an interview for this admission.

Separate merit lists are prepared for Home State and Outside Delhi State applicants. If two applicants have the same JEE Main rank, preference goes to the older person. A random draw decides the order when the tie remains unresolved.

  • The CSE closing rank for the General Home State quota in JEE Main 2025 was 51,798.
  • Admission through the OSD quota generally calls for a much better All India Rank than admission through the HS quota.
  • Of the 180 seats, 75% belong to the HS quota and 25% belong to the OSD quota.

USICT B.Tech Application Process 2026

Students submit a single application through the central GGSIPU system. USICT does not require a separate application form.

  • Use JEE Main login information and personal details to register at ipu.admissions.nic.in.
  • Fill out the GGSIPU B.Tech form and pay the stated online registration charge.
  • During choice filling, add USICT and arrange the preferred branches in the desired order.
  • View the seat allocation result after each counselling round on the admission portal.
  • After receiving an allotment, pay the part academic fee before the stated deadline to retain the seat.
  • Bring the original certificates to the USICT Dwarka campus for document checking.

USICT MCA and M.Tech Admission 2026

For postgraduate study, USICT offers MCA and M.Tech. MCA selection uses IPU CET, while a valid GATE score is needed for M.Tech. The counselling process for these courses is separate from B.Tech counselling.
