| NIT Delhi: ₹14.75 L Median on a ₹9.16 L Degree — With No Delhi Quota |
| Exams covered: JEE Main · JoSAA | State: Uttar Pradesh | Fee band: Rs 9.16 L Gen / Rs 4.16 L SC-ST |
|
| NIT Delhi charges ₹9.16 lakh at general rates and ₹4.16 lakh for SC and ST students, with a median package of ₹14.75 lakh and an average of ₹17.17 lakh. That is an elite-brand payback — but there is no Delhi quota, so every seat is contested nationally. |
| THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER |
| Total four-year fee | Rs 9.16 L Gen / Rs 4.16 L SC-ST |
| Yearly (average) | About Rs 2.29 lakh a year on the average (total divided by four). Year-wise and category-wise splits differ — confirm the actual schedule with the college. |
| Median package | Rs 14.75 LPA |
| Average package | Rs 17.17 LPA |
| Placement rate | |
| Cutoff | 10,165 |
| HOW YOU GET IN |
| Admission route for NIT Delhi: JoSAA (national). The cutoff to plan around is 10,165. Always confirm the current cycle's dates, eligibility and seat matrix on the official portal before you file. |
| TWO THINGS MOVING RIGHT NOW |
| 1. The CSE cutoff sits around 10,165 through JoSAA, which is materially easier than DTU's 7,060 for outside-Delhi candidates. The two colleges are 30 km apart and the competition is completely different. |
| 2. NIT Delhi is a comparatively young NIT with a small campus and a narrow branch set. Do not compare its infrastructure with DTU or NSIT — compare the median, the fee and the cutoff, which is where it wins. |
| THE HONEST READ |
| The clever NCR move for a student with a rank between 8,000 and 12,000: an NIT tag, a Delhi address and a ₹14.75 lakh median, at a cutoff that DTU closed above. |
| Cheapest elite brand in NCR. No Delhi quota, so competition is national. |
| BEFORE YOU PAY THE FIRST INSTALMENT |
| 1. Ask for the branch-wise median — the institute figure hides the branch you are actually joining. |
| 2. Ask for the placed-versus-eligible count, not the percentage. A count is evidence; a percentage is a claim. |
| 3. Ask which quota or fee category the quote refers to. In this college the same seat can carry two or three different prices. |
| 4. Diarise the counselling round you are planning for, and the refund deadline that follows it. |
|
| TALK TO SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY DONE IT |
| Talk 1:1 with final-year students of the exact course and college you are considering. Ask them what the brochure will never tell you — how the teaching actually works, which branches get real recruiter attention, what the hostel and mess cost in year three, and what the final bill looked like. Then decide, with the full picture in front of you. We also handle end-to-end guidance on engineering form filling, counselling rounds, seat allotment, campus visits and travel. |
