JAC Delhi 2026 Round 2 closing rank for NSIT ECE (NSUT) is expected to fall around 8,000–8,500 for General category (Home State), based on 2024 and 2025 cutoff trends.
JAC Delhi (Joint Admission Counselling Delhi) manages seat allotment across DTU, NSUT (formerly NSIT), IGDTUW, and IIIT Delhi. Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at NSUT — formerly Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) — is among the most competitive branches through JAC Delhi every year. Round 2 allotment for 2026 is expected around late June 2026 and is determined by your JEE Main All India Rank (AIR). Delhi domicile students compete under the Home State quota, which carries significantly tighter cutoffs than the Other State quota.
- JAC Delhi 2026 Round 2 is expected around June 28, 2026.
- NSIT ECE (NSUT) admits students via JEE Main AIR under Home State (Delhi) and Other State quotas.
- General category students with a rank up to approximately 8,000–8,500 (Home State) have secured NSUT ECE in Round 2 in recent years.
- OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD categories carry separate relaxed cutoffs as per reservation norms.
- Round 2 closing ranks are typically more relaxed than Round 1 as upgrade and withdrawal vacancies free additional seats.

Factors Affecting JAC Delhi 2026 NSIT ECE Cutoff
Several variables decide where the final Round 2 cutoff for NSUT ECE lands each year. Understanding these helps you make a more realistic assessment of your admission chances before Round 2 choice filling opens.
- JEE Main 2026 difficulty level — A harder paper shifts ranks upward for the same score and can slightly relax cutoffs; an easier paper has the opposite effect.
- Total applicants opting for Delhi colleges — A higher number of students listing NSUT ECE among their preferences increases competition and pushes closing ranks lower.
- Seat intake changes at NSUT ECE — Any government-approved increase in total seats can ease closing ranks for that cycle.
- Round 1 upgrade and withdrawal activity — Seats freed when students upgrade to a higher-preference option or withdraw become available in Round 2, sometimes benefiting borderline applicants.
- Reservation policy for Delhi — Delhi government norms for OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD categories create separate seat pools with independent cutoffs unaffected by General category demand.
- Home State vs Other State quota split — Home State (Delhi domicile) seats are considerably more competitive. Other State quota seats typically carry higher (more relaxed) closing ranks and are open to non-Delhi students meeting JEE Main eligibility.
