JAC Delhi 2026 DTU CSE Round 2 Cutoff: Category-Wise Closing Ranks

The expected JAC Delhi 2026 cutoff for DTU CSE Round 2 for General Home State students is likely to close around rank 1,750–1,900, based on 2024 and 2025 trends.

JAC Delhi conducts centralised counselling for admissions to Delhi’s top engineering institutions, including Delhi Technological University (DTU). Computer Science and Engineering at DTU is among the most competitive programmes under the JAC Delhi system. Round 2 cutoffs are determined after Round 1 seat withdrawals and fresh registrations, shifting by 50–150 ranks from Round 1.

• JAC Delhi 2026 Round 2 results are expected around 28 June 2026.
• DTU CSE General Home State closing rank in Round 2 has ranged between 1,600 and 2,000 over the past two years.
• OBC-NCL Home State students can expect a closing rank of approximately 3,000–3,500.
• SC Home State closing ranks for DTU CSE Round 2 have historically fallen between 9,000 and 12,000.
• All ranks refer to JEE Main 2026 All India ranks within the respective category.

Round 1 vs Round 2 Cutoff: Key Differences

Knowing how Round 2 differs from Round 1 helps you decide whether to wait for an upgrade or lock in your current seat.

In JAC Delhi, Round 2 cutoffs for DTU CSE are usually 50–150 ranks more relaxed than Round 1 for General and OBC-NCL categories. This occurs because some Round 1 allottees withdraw after securing IIT or NIT seats. SC and ST cutoffs tend to shift by smaller margins between rounds.

Factors Affecting JAC Delhi 2026 DTU CSE Cutoff

Several variables determine where the DTU CSE Round 2 cutoff settles each year:

• JEE Main 2026 difficulty and score distribution — A tougher paper compresses scores and shifts cutoff ranks upward.
• Total registrations in JAC Delhi 2026 — More registered students increase competition and tighten cutoffs across all categories.
• DTU CSE seat intake for 2026 — Any change in total sanctioned seats directly affects how deep the allotment goes.
• Round 1 withdrawal rate — Students who secure IIT or NIT seats and exit JAC Delhi free up vacancies that can marginally relax Round 2 cutoffs.
• Category-wise applicant pool — The ratio of SC, ST, and OBC-NCL applicants to reserved seats shapes how much those cutoffs move year-on-year.

How to Estimate Your Admission Chances for DTU CSE Round 2

Follow these steps to gauge whether your JEE Main 2026 rank qualifies you for DTU CSE in Round 2:

1. Identify your category and seat pool. Confirm whether you are Home State (Delhi domicile) or Other State and note your reservation category.
2. Find your JEE Main 2026 All India rank within your category from your scorecard.
3. Compare against the expected closing rank in the table above for your category and seat pool.
4. If your rank is below (better than) the expected closing rank, your chances of securing DTU CSE in Round 2 are strong.
5. If your rank falls within 200–400 ranks of the expected closing rank, register for Round 2 and include DTU CSE as a choice — marginal relaxation from Round 1 withdrawals may work in your favour.
6. Always fill a backup choice from other JAC Delhi colleges or branches to secure an allotment even if DTU CSE remains out of reach.

Students who received a seat in Round 1 at a less-preferred branch can participate in Round 2 to upgrade their allotment, subject to JAC Delhi’s upgrade rules for 2026.
