The Ambedkar Institute of Technology (AIT), New Delhi, is a popular public technical institute that provides diploma and engineering oriented courses in different branches of technology and applied science. The institute has a fixed structure, a high competitive entry process and a diverse range of cutoffs for different diploma and lateral entry programs. The entire process is selection based on merits, entrance exams, reservation and course preferences which ensures fairness and allows all eligible students to secure a seat at AIT with a time bound admission process.
Cutoffs of the AIT do not have a fixed criteria and they change annually as a result of certain parameters. This means the cutoffs change on an annual basis due to the number of candidates who apply to the college, their performance in CET (Common Entrance Test), the allocation of seats among different categories, course choices of the candidates and the availability of seats. Whereas diploma courses usually have an entrance exam based selection process, later entry admissions also require a good previous academic record along with certain entrances.
