4000 JEE Advanced rank and IIT Delhi — nuanced answer:

at 4000 general category rank, IIT Delhi mainstream branches are closed:

CSE, ECE, EE, Mech, Chemical, Civil at IIT Delhi — all close in the range of 50–600 for general. 4000 rank won't get these
what might open at 4000 at IIT Delhi: Maths & Computing, Engineering Physics, Textile Technology, Production & Industrial Engineering — these close in the 3,000–5,000 range some years. marginal, check latest JoSAA data

better targets at 4000 general JEE Advanced:

IIT Roorkee — Chemical, Civil Engineering likely
IIT Guwahati — ECE, EE, Chemical might open
IIT BHU (Varanasi) — CSE, ECE, EE available
IIT Dhanbad/ISM — CSE, ECE
Newer IITs — CSE/ECE easily

check the exact closing ranks on josaa.admissions.nic.in for JoSAA 2024 — the Maths & Computing program at IIT Delhi is your best shot. if interdisciplinary programs interest you (like Maths & Computing), it's worth applying. if you want core engineering branches, focus on IIT Roorkee/Guwahati/BHU at 4000 general.

B.Tech student at IIT Delhi

I am a 3rd year B.Tech student at IIT Delhi.

I assume you are an open category candidate. If this is the case, then you can’t expect to secure a top branch at IIT Delhi with 4000 rank.

As per the cutoff 2023 for IIT Delhi, these are a few branches which had a closing rank > 4000 (for open category and gender-neutral seats)-

Biotech and Biochemical Engineering- 5387
Civil Engineering- 4472
Materials Engineering- 4055
Textile Engineering- 6690

But if you belong to a reserved category, or you are eligible for female-only seats, the situation will be better for you.

You can check the official website of JoSAA- https://josaa.admissions.nic.in/applicant/SeatAllotmentResult/CurrentORCR.aspx to know the detailed JEE Advanced cutoff 2023 for B.Tech admissions at IIT Delhi.

The previous year cutoff will give you an idea of the minimum required ranks for admission into the B.Tech programme at IIT Delhi.
