DTU B.Tech Admission 2026

DTU B.Tech Selection Process 2026

DTU does not conduct a separate written test or interview for B.Tech admission. JAC Delhi uses rank, category and quota details to allot seats.

  • All-India quota allotment is based on the JEE Main All-India CRL rank. Delhi quota allotment is based on the Delhi CRL rank.
  • Students enter their preferred university and branch combinations during choice filling. The same locked list is used for all four main rounds.
  • Each round allots seats according to rank, category and domicile or school location status.
  • A student can wait for a better preference in later rounds. Once a seat is frozen, upgradation stops and the admission is confirmed for that choice.
  • After every round result, students allotted seats must report to the allotted college for physical document checking within the given window.
  • The Spot Round is held for seats left vacant after Round 4. Spot Round registration and reporting take place in the same period.

Key Insight: For the Delhi quota, DTU checks where the student completed Class 12, not the home address. A Class 12 school in Delhi NCT makes the student eligible for the Delhi quota. Students should check the school category on the JAC Delhi portal before registration to avoid a quota mismatch.
