Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) is one of the premier institutes of technology in India, which has a very competitive cut-off structure for admission in undergraduate, postgraduate, and research courses. Admissions are mostly merit-based and entrance-based, with major importance given to the academic consistency of the candidate, performance in the national-level entrance examination, and the demand of the program.
The cut-off of IIIT-Delhi keeps fluctuating every year, based on various factors like the number of applications received, the trend of performance in the JEE Main exam, availability of seats, category-wise seats, popularity of the branch, counselling rounds, etc. Branches like Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science tend to have much higher cut-offs, as they are considered technology-oriented courses and are highly sought after by industries.

IIIT-Delhi admission is highly merit-based and grounded in academic excellence and technical capability. Those who have performed well in the JEE Main examination, have strong academic preparation, and are flexible with branch preferences are more likely to be selected for admission. The placement record and research ecosystem of the institute make programs in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Electronics continue to be highly competitive.
For the year 2026, the expected percentile for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence-related programs for the general category is 98.5–99 percentile in JEE Main. The cut-off may be relatively lower but remains highly competitive for Electronics and interdisciplinary programs.
No. The cut-off varies each year based on various conditions such as the number of applications, the level of difficulty of the JEE Main exam, the number of seats available, counselling rounds, category reservation, and the demand for specific branches.
Yes. Admission to undergraduate courses is based on JEE Main scores, while postgraduate and doctoral courses may require GATE or CEED scores, interviews, written tests, or institute evaluation depending on the specific course.
Students can boost their chances by securing strong marks in JEE Main, maintaining academic consistency, participating in all counselling rounds, remaining flexible about specialization, and building solid skills in mathematics, problem-solving, and technical subjects.
