I have Delhi quota and defence quota, what should be my AIR to get into DTU, NSIT , IIIT Delhi or NIT Delhi?

if you have both Delhi state quota AND defence quota, here's how it works at DTU/NSUT:

Delhi state quota: 85% of seats at DTU, NSUT, IIIT Delhi reserved for students who passed 12th from Delhi schools. significantly lowers the required rank.

Defence quota: separate 5% horizontal reservation for children/dependents of defence personnel (serving/retired/ex-servicemen) at these colleges. this is across all categories.

when you have both Delhi state + defence quota combined: your effective competition pool is very small — you're competing only against other Delhi-domicile defence quota candidates. the cutoff rank for this specific category is significantly lower than the regular Delhi quota.

realistic AIR for DTU via Delhi+Defence quota:

• DTU CSE: students with both quotas have gotten in with JEE Main ranks in the 5,000-15,000 range (vs. ~1,500-2,000 for general Delhi quota)
• DTU ECE/EE: even higher ranks possible, sometimes 20,000-40,000 range

apply through JAC Delhi counseling (jac.delhi.gov.in). select both Delhi state and defence category when filling the form. make sure you have the correct documents (domicile certificate + defence ID/discharge book). specific cutoffs vary yearly.
