How each institute admits, and the cutoff source
- IIT Delhi: JoSAA, on JEE (Advanced) rank. Cutoffs above: josaa.admissions.nic.in (2024, 2025, 2026, final round)
What this means
The opening rank is the best rank admitted in that category, and the closing rank is the last rank admitted in the final round. Your JEE (Advanced) category rank must be at or better than the closing rank to have had a seat that year. Cutoffs move every year, so look at the trend over three years, not one number. Female-only seats are supernumerary seats for female candidates; PwD ranks are separate lists.
Fees
| Point | Value | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech tuition per semester | ₹1,00,000 | academics.iitd.ac.in (2025-26) |
| First-semester academic fees | ₹1,31,000 | academics.iitd.ac.in (2025-26) |
| Fee waiver notes | SC, ST and PwD: no tuition. Family income ₹1–5 lakh: one-third tuition (₹33,333); below ₹1 lakh: nil. ₹1,00,000 applies above ₹5 lakh. | academics.iitd.ac.in (2025-26) |

Placements
| Point | Value | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| UG 4-year median salary | ₹20 lakh | home.iitd.ac.in (2024-25) |

What this means
The median salary is the middle value: half of the placed students earned more and half earned less. It is a fairer guide than the "highest package", which only one student gets. Compare it with the number placed out of those who graduated, and remember that many students choose higher studies instead.
