Getting into IIT Delhi is a dream for many students. It’s one of the top engineering colleges in India, known for its excellent academics, top placements, and vibrant campus life. Every year, thousands of students work hard for the JEE Advanced exam to secure a seat at this institute. But do you know how many seats are actually available in IIT Delhi? And how are they divided among courses and categories?

Understanding the seat matrix is very important. It helps you set clear goals and choose your preferred branch wisely during JoSAA counselling. Whether you’re aiming for Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical, or a dual degree, you need to know the number of seats, cutoffs, and reservation details.

This article explains everything about IIT Delhi’s seat structure in simple words. If you’re planning to study here, this guide will give you all the information you need to plan better and stay ahead.

Overview of IIT Delhi

IIT Delhi was established in 1961. It is located in Hauz Khas, New Delhi. It is known for its strong engineering and technology programs. The campus is spread over 320 acres and offers world-class facilities. IIT Delhi became an Institution of Eminence in 2018.

IIT Delhi

The institute offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs. BTech is the most popular undergraduate course. Admission is through JEE Advanced, and only the top rankers get in.

How Many Seats Are There in IIT Delhi?

There are 1,209 seats available in IIT Delhi for four-year BTech programs. These seats are spread across 17 engineering branches. Apart from the 4-year programs, IIT Delhi also offers 5-year dual degree programs.

The number of seats in each branch varies. Some courses have more seats due to higher demand, while others have fewer seats.

Program-Wise Seat Distribution at IIT Delhi

IIT Delhi offers a variety of engineering programs with different seat allocations. Understanding the seat distribution for each program is crucial for students, as it can affect their chances of getting admission to their desired course. The number of seats varies across different branches of engineering and also depends on factors like gender, category, and reservation policies. In this section, we will take a detailed look at the seat distribution for popular BTech programs at IIT Delhi.

Popular 4-Year BTech Programs

The 4-year BTech programs at IIT Delhi are among the most sought-after, and these programs have different seat allocations based on the branch’s popularity, demand, and the number of applicants each year.

ProgramGender-Neutral SeatsFemale-Only SeatsTotal Seats
Computer Science & Engineering7920 (6 supernumerary)93
Electrical Engineering9624 (10 supernumerary)110
Mechanical Engineering7619 (10 supernumerary)85
Civil Engineering6015 (10 supernumerary)75

CSE (Dual Degree)298 (4 supernumerary)37
Mathematics & Computing (Dual Degree)267 (4 supernumerary)33

This program combines Mathematics with computing technology and is suitable for students who have an interest in data science, algorithms, and programming.

IIT Delhi Reservation Policy Breakdown

IIT Delhi follows the reservation rules set by the Government of India. The seat distribution includes different categories.

CategoryTotal SeatsSeats Reserved for PwDDescription
OPEN (General Category)463Seats for students who do not belong to any reserved category, based on merit in JEE Advanced.
Scheduled Castes (SC)869Reserved for students from SC category, with 9 seats for PwD candidates within this group.
Scheduled Tribes (ST)255Reserved for students from ST category, with 5 seats for PwD candidates within this group.
Other Backward Classes – Non-Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL)1739Reserved for OBC-NCL students, with 9 seats for PwD candidates within this group.
Economically Weaker Section (GEN-EWS)250Reserved for students from economically weaker sections; no PwD seats in this category.
PwD Reservation3% of total seatsHorizontal reservation for PwD candidates across all categories.

Horizontal reservation means PwD seats are reserved within each category, not as a separate category. Supernumerary seats are extra seats added to support female enrollment. They do not reduce the number of general category seats.

Conclusion

IIT Delhi offers a total of 1209 seats for its 4-year BTech programs, with additional seats in dual degree courses. These seats are carefully divided among different categories and programs. Computer Science, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering are among the most popular choices. Understanding the seat matrix, reservation policy, and program-wise distribution helps you make smarter decisions during counselling.

Remember, female-only supernumerary seats are extra and do not reduce the general seat count. PwD reservations are applied across all categories. Also, the cutoff ranks vary every year, so keeping track of the latest data is important.

If you’re serious about joining IIT Delhi, study the seat details carefully. Choose your programs based on your interest, strengths, and previous year cutoffs. Being well-informed is just as important as scoring high in JEE Advanced. With the right strategy and clear goals, you can improve your chances of getting into one of India’s best IITs.
