Round 1 vs Round 2 Cutoff: Key Differences
Round 2 in JAC Delhi processes seats vacated after Round 1 withdrawals and any seats left unfilled. For IIIT Delhi CSE, the shift is modest because demand consistently exceeds supply — but even a 200–400 rank relaxation can make a difference for students who narrowly missed Round 1.
| Parameter | Round 1 | Round 2 |
|---|---|---|
| General HS closing rank (expected) | ~3,000–3,600 | ~3,500–4,000 |
| Seat pool | Full sanctioned intake | Vacated and unfilled seats only |
| Typical rank relaxation | — | ~200–400 ranks vs Round 1 |
| Freeze / Float / Slide | Available | Available |
| Upgrade possible? | Yes (if floated) | Yes (if floated) |
If you received IIIT Delhi CSE in Round 1 and it is your top choice, select Freeze to secure the allotment regardless of Round 2 movements. Choosing Float keeps you in the running for a higher preference but accepting a floated allotment means giving up your current seat. Slide allows upgrades within IIIT Delhi only, without any risk to your existing allotment.
Factors Affecting JAC Delhi 2026 IIIT Delhi CSE Cutoff
Several variables determine where the final Round 2 closing rank settles each year:
- JEE Main 2026 normalised score distribution — a more difficult paper shifts the rank curve upward, raising closing ranks at the same percentile threshold.
- Total JAC Delhi 2026 registrations — more registered students directly increase competition for the fixed number of CSE seats at IIIT Delhi.
- IIIT Delhi 2026 seat matrix revision — any increase in total B.Tech CSE intake eases the cutoff; a reduction tightens it.
- Round 1 withdrawal volume — students accepting IIT or NIT seats via JoSAA vacate JAC Delhi allotments, freeing seats for Round 2 and potentially relaxing the cutoff.
- Category-specific application density — demand within SC, ST, and OBC-NCL applicant pools drives category-rank cutoffs independently of the General closing rank.
- Float choices after Round 1 — a high Float rate increases seat churn and widens the Round 2 opportunity window for students just below the Round 1 cutoff.
