NSUT: what it is and where it stands
NSUT is a Delhi government university running three campuses, only recently constituted as a non-affiliating degree-awarding body in 2018.
Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) is a Delhi government technical university at Sector-3, Dwarka. It started in 1983 as Delhi Institute of Technology, was later renamed Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, and became a university on 26 September 2018 under The Delhi Netaji Subhas University of Technology Act, 2017 (Delhi Act 06 of 2018), notified in the Delhi Gazette of 27 September 2018. Before that it was an autonomous institution under the Government of NCT of Delhi, affiliated to the University of Delhi. The Act constitutes it as a non-affiliating university, so it now frames its own programmes and awards its own degrees.
NSUT runs three campuses. The main campus on Azad Hind Fauj Marg, Sector-3, Dwarka covers 145 acres and is described by the university as fully residential. The East Campus at Geeta Colony, Delhi-110031 is the former Ambedkar Institute of Advanced Communication Technologies and Research; the West Campus at Jaffarpur, New Delhi-110073 is the former Ch. Brahm Prakash Government Engineering College. Eighteen B.Tech programmes and one five-year B.Arch are offered across the three sites.
In India Rankings 2025, NSUT was placed 70th in the Engineering category with a score of 50.43, and in the 101-150 band in the University category. No NAAC grade was found published on the university's own website, so none is stated here.
Admission route: how you actually get a seat
NSUT does not run its own counselling — every seat is filled through JAC Delhi on JEE Main Paper-1 rank.
NSUT does not run its own B.Tech counselling. Seats are filled by JAC Delhi, the Joint Admission Committee constituted by the Government of NCT of Delhi, which also handles DTU, IGDTUW, IIIT-Delhi and DSEU on one common form. Allotment to NSUT B.Tech is made strictly on the JEE Main 2026 Paper-1 Common Rank List; B.Arch uses the JEE Main 2026 Paper-2 rank.
Two filters decide which pool you compete in.
- Region: 85% of seats are earmarked for candidates who passed the qualifying examination from a school in the NCT of Delhi, and 15% for candidates who passed from outside Delhi.
- Category: SC 15%, ST 7.5%, OBC non-creamy-layer 27% and EWS 10%, with Defence (5%) and Persons with Disabilities (5%) sub-categories available inside each main category.
Eligibility for B.Tech is 60% or more in aggregate across Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, a pass in English, and a pass in every other Class XII subject, with relaxations for reserved categories. B.Arch needs 45% in aggregate with PCM and English. Candidates placed in compartment in 2026 are not eligible this year.
The counselling runs four regular rounds, then an upgradation of already-admitted candidates against seats vacant after Round 4, then a spot round for whatever is still open.
Fees (2026-27)
NSUT publishes its full four-year fee schedule in advance — ₹2,70,000 in Year 1, rising to ₹3,33,000 by Year 4.
NSUT publishes the whole four-year fee schedule for each entering batch in advance. for the batch admitted in 2026-27, the annual fee starts at ₹2,70,000 and rises to ₹3,33,000 in the fourth year.
| Item | 2026-27 | 2027-28 | 2028-29 | 2029-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition Fee | ₹1,08,000 | ₹1,13,000 | ₹1,28,000 | ₹1,33,000 |
| University Fee | ₹82,000 | ₹86,500 | ₹92,000 | ₹95,000 |
| Student Fund | ₹27,200 | ₹32,500 | ₹36,000 | ₹39,000 |
| Facilities & Services | ₹25,800 | ₹32,000 | ₹36,000 | ₹39,000 |
| CVSPK | ₹10,000 | ₹10,000 | ₹11,000 | ₹11,000 |
| Alumni Fund | ₹1,000 | ₹0 | ₹0 | ₹0 |
| Incubation / Start-up Fund | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 |
| Examination Fee | ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 |
| Total per year | ₹2,70,000 | ₹2,90,000 | ₹3,19,000 | ₹3,33,000 |
The payment is split. ₹95,000 is the Seat Acceptance Fee paid during JAC counselling; the balance of ₹1,75,000 is paid to NSUT (NSUT circular No. 208(169)/B.Tech./Admission-2026/NSUT/99 dated 27 July 2026). A separate Alumni Association membership fee of ₹2,000 is payable to the Alumni Association. Adding NSUT's own four published annual totals gives ₹12,12,000 of academic fees for the degree — the sum of the university's own figures, not this site's estimate, and it excludes hostel, mess and living costs.
CAP cutoff 2026: how to read it
Round 4 2026 closed CSE at rank 15,825 (Delhi region) and 7,573 (outside Delhi) — only this year's round-wise data has been verified so far.
JAC Delhi publishes NSUT's round-wise closing ranks on its OR-CR page. in Round 4 of 2026, Computer Science closed at 15,825 for the general Delhi-region pool and at 7,573 for the general outside-Delhi pool on the JEE Main 2026 Common Rank List.
| Branch | General, Delhi region | General, outside Delhi |
|---|---|---|
| CSE (Artificial Intelligence) | 10,316 | 6,206 |
| Computer Science and Engineering | 15,825 | 7,573 |
| CSE (Data Science) | 16,961 | 8,446 |
| Information Technology | 21,789 | 9,879 |
| Mathematics and Computing | 24,027 | 10,284 |
| Electronics and Communication | 33,941 | 11,979 |
| Electrical Engineering | 48,628 | 14,997 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 67,612 | 18,297 |
| Bio-Technology | 90,190 | 26,083 |
Read the pattern, not the single number. Outside-Delhi ranks close far tighter than Delhi-region ranks for the same branch, because only 15% of the 2,197 B.Tech seats sit in that pool — so a Delhi school-leaver and an outside-Delhi school-leaver holding the same rank are not in the same race. Ranks also loosen from Round 1 to Round 4 as candidates withdraw or upgrade, and move again in the post-Round-4 upgradation and the spot round, so a Round 1 figure is not the number to plan around.
An honest scope limit: earlier years' sheets sit in the JAC Delhi archive, but this page only quotes sheets that have actually been opened and read — 2023, 2024 and 2025 round-wise closing ranks have not been verified as of this capture, so no multi-year trend is shown here.
Placements: what is verifiable
NSUT's own NIRF filing shows a UG median of ₹17,00,000 for the 2024-25 batch — but the same document contains a genuine internal inconsistency this page flags rather than resolves silently.
The only placement numbers this page quotes are the ones NSUT itself submitted to the Ministry of Education's ranking framework, because those carry the university's own signature. the median annual salary of placed UG graduates was ₹17,00,000 for the batch graduating in 2024-25.
| Graduating batch | Graduated in stipulated time | Placed | Median salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | 1,153 | 977 | ₹17,00,000 |
| 2023-24 | 1,725 | 1,362 | ₹16,50,000 |
| 2024-25 | 1,785 | 1,510 | ₹17,00,000 |
For the same 2024-25 cohort, 87 students were recorded as selected for higher studies. The M.Tech median for the 2024-25 graduating batch was ₹13,50,000, on 79 of 122 graduates placed.
Not verifiable from any official NSUT document, checked again for this rebuild: branch-wise medians, the average and highest package, recruiter-wise offer counts, and the split between software and core-engineering roles. A university-wide median hides the gap between the computing branches and the core branches, and NSUT does not publish that split.
Hostel & campus life
Hostel rooms are allotted by distance from campus; no official fee schedule is published.
Hostel accommodation at the Dwarka main campus is real but finite, and how it is allotted matters more than most applicants expect. NSUT lists four boys' hostels (BH1 to BH4), one for each year of study, each able to accommodate up to 276 students in single and double-bedded rooms, and two girls' hostels. Rooms are allotted on the basis of the student's permanent address, sorted by distance, so outside-Delhi candidates are given top priority — the mirror image of the seat matrix, where outside-Delhi candidates are the smaller pool.
Each hostel has its own in-premises mess, 24-hour water supply, power backup and parking. The university also lists common rooms, a badminton court and table-tennis rooms, and notes that a shopping complex and a metro station are within walking distance of the hostels. The wider campus is 145 acres and carries a sports complex, canteens, a bank, a post office and a medical centre.
Hostel and mess charges are not part of the annual fee notification, which covers academic fees only, and no published hostel fee schedule was located on the university website, checked again for this rebuild (2026-08-20). Aggregator sites quote approximate per-semester figures, but none could be traced to an official NSUT document, so this page does not repeat them. Hostel allotment notices for first-year students are issued through the university management system notice board, which is where the current charges should be confirmed.
For the 2026-27 first-year batch, orientation and induction were scheduled for 5 and 6 August 2026 and classes from 10 August 2026 (NSUT circular dated 27 July 2026).
How NSUT compares
NSUT and DTU sit at nearly identical fee levels within JAC Delhi — the real choice between them is branch, campus and commute.
Compare on the axis that actually changes your decision, not on a general impression.
Entry route and domicile. This is the biggest fork. NSUT is a JAC Delhi college, so a Delhi school-leaver gets the 85% pool and everyone else competes for 15%. COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai and PICT Pune are filled through Maharashtra's CAP counselling, where a Maharashtra domicile candidate has the equivalent advantage. If you hold Delhi schooling, NSUT is structurally easy to reach relative to your rank; if you hold Maharashtra schooling, COEP Pune and VJTI Mumbai are. Few candidates should be optimising across both systems.
Fee shape. Within JAC Delhi itself, the 2026-27 first-year fee is ₹2,70,000 at NSUT and ₹2,69,700 at DTU, while IIIT-Delhi is ₹4,50,000 and IGDTUW is ₹1,68,000 per annum. So the NSUT-versus-DTU choice is not a fee decision at all — it is branch, campus and commute. The Maharashtra colleges publish separate fee notifications and are not comparable from this page.
City and hiring market. NSUT sits inside the Delhi-NCR recruiting market; PICT Pune and COEP Pune sit inside Pune's, and VJTI Mumbai inside Mumbai's. If your family or intended industry is anchored in one of those cities, that anchoring is worth more than a few ranking positions.
Institutional age. NSUT is a 2018 university built on a 1983 institution, so the degree is young while the alumni base is not.

Frequently asked questions
Do I apply to NSUT directly for B.Tech, or through JAC Delhi?
Through JAC Delhi. NSUT does not run its own B.Tech counselling: registration, choice filling and seat allotment all happen on jacdelhi.admissions.nic.in, on one common form shared with DTU, IGDTUW, IIIT-Delhi and DSEU. Allotment is strictly on your JEE Main 2026 Paper-1 Common Rank List position. B.Tech lateral entry and B.Des are handled separately on the university's own Samarth admission portal.
What is NSUT's B.Tech fee for 2026-27?
₹2,70,000 in Year 1, rising to ₹2,90,000 (Year 2), ₹3,19,000 (Year 3) and ₹3,33,000 (Year 4) — ₹12,12,000 total across four years, per NSUT's own published fee notification. ₹95,000 of the Year 1 amount is the Seat Acceptance Fee paid during JAC counselling; the balance goes directly to NSUT.
What is NSUT's 2026 CAP cutoff for Computer Science?
Round 4 2026 (General category) closed CSE at rank 15,825 for the Delhi-region pool and 7,573 for the outside-Delhi pool, on the JEE Main 2026 Common Rank List. The outside-Delhi pool closes far tighter because only 15% of seats sit in it.
How many rounds does JAC Delhi run, and how do I keep the seat I have?
There are four regular rounds, then an upgradation of already-admitted candidates against seats left vacant after Round 4, then a spot round if seats remain. If you are happy with your allotted branch and want to stop being upgraded, you must exercise the Branch Freezing option in your JAC candidate login on the day listed in the counselling schedule. Silence means you stay in the upgradation pool.
What documents do I need at physical reporting?
The JAC Delhi 2026 brochure lists the seat acceptance fee receipt, the signed registration form, a printout of your filled choices, three passport photographs, the JEE Main 2026 admit card and score card, the Class XII marksheet, the downloaded seat allotment letter, the Class X certificate as date-of-birth proof, a medical fitness certificate, and the relevant category or sub-category certificate where claimed.
How are hostel rooms allotted at NSUT?
NSUT allots hostel rooms on the basis of the student's permanent address, sorted by distance, so candidates from outside Delhi get top priority. The main campus lists four boys' hostels, one per year of study, each accommodating up to 276 students in single and double-bedded rooms, plus two girls' hostels. No official hostel fee schedule is published — confirm current charges directly with the hostel office.
What is NSUT's actual placement median?
The university's own NIRF filing states a UG median salary of ₹17,00,000 for the 2024-25 batch (1,510 of 1,785 graduates placed). Note: the same NIRF document contains an internal inconsistency — the figure is written as "1700000" in numerals but "Seventy Lakh" in words — which this page states rather than silently resolving.
Can I change my branch after joining NSUT?
Do not assume so. The JAC Delhi brochure says only that some participating universities may carry out branch upgradation or change after the session commences, as per the regulations of that university, and directs students to ask the institution directly. There is no JAC-level guarantee. Treat the branch you accept in counselling as the branch you will graduate in.
Extended admission FAQs
How many campuses does NSUT have, and does it matter which one my branch is on?
Three: the main Dwarka campus (145 acres, fully residential), the East Campus at Geeta Colony (former AIACTR), and the West Campus at Jaffarpur (former Ch. Brahm Prakash Government Engineering College). Yes, it matters — facilities, hostel access and commute differ significantly by campus, so check which campus your specific branch choice belongs to before filling it in JAC Delhi.
Why does NSUT not have a NAAC grade listed on this page?
Because no NAAC grade could be found published on the university's own website as of this capture. This page does not state a grade it could not verify from an official NSUT source.
How much does a full 4-year NSUT B.Tech cost?
₹12,12,000 across four years, per NSUT's own published year-wise fee schedule (₹2,70,000 + ₹2,90,000 + ₹3,19,000 + ₹3,33,000) — this is the university's own disclosed total, not a computed estimate, since NSUT publishes a genuine year-by-year figure in advance.
What is NSUT's category reservation structure?
SC 15%, ST 7.5%, OBC non-creamy-layer 27%, and EWS 10%, with additional 5% sub-quotas for Defence wards and Persons with Disabilities available within each main category, per the JAC Delhi 2026 brochure.
Is there historical (2023-2025) CAP cutoff data for NSUT on this page?
Not yet. This page only reproduces cutoff sheets that have actually been opened and verified, and only 2026 Round 4 data has been confirmed so far. Earlier years' sheets exist in the JAC Delhi archive but have not been sourced for this page — no multi-year trend is claimed.
What discrepancy did this page find in NSUT's own NIRF filing?
In NSUT's NIRF 2026 submission, the 2024-25 UG median salary is printed as the numeral "1700000" but the amount-in-words beside it reads "Rupees Seventy Lakh" (₹70,00,000) — a tenfold mismatch within the same document. This page uses the numeral figure and states the inconsistency rather than assuming which entry is the typo.
Does NSUT publish branch-wise placement outcomes?
No. Only a university-wide median and placed-count are available, from NSUT's own NIRF filings. No breakdown by branch, no average package, no highest package, and no recruiter-wise data is published on any official NSUT document found during this research.
What happened to the earlier version of this page?
There was no fabricated override for this page — the underlying research was already honest and well-sourced, including the notable NIRF-filing discrepancy this rebuild preserves. This rebuild adds the site's standard quickAnswer, key facts and FAQ structure. A follow-up check on the hostel-fee gap (2026-08-20) found only aggregator figures, none traceable to an official NSUT document, so that gap remains stated honestly rather than filled in.
