The top BTech programmes at the National Institute of Technology (NITs) remain consistently competitive for engineering aspirants. The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main) cut-offs of the computer science, artificial intelligence, and electronics and communication engineering branches range between 6000 and 10000 at the institute.

Placed at 65 in the engineering category of the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025, the NIT in the national capital offers selective programmes and the lowest Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) closing rank at which a candidate could enter the brand is 59371 for home-state quota in BTech civil engineering.

BTech Artificial Intelligence-Data Science (AI-DS) remains the most sought-after course after BTech CSE, with a sharp increase in cut-offs. The newest course – VLSI Design and Technology – also recorded a jump in competitiveness in the last three years. The core branches including mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering have not been able to beat the demand of trending or industry-aligned courses.
