Can I get into ECE at IIIT Delhi with a 97 percentile (outside Delhi candidate)?

97 percentile outside Delhi for IIIT Delhi ECE — your chances are possible but it's tight. here's the full picture:important thing first — IIIT Delhi is NOT part of JoSAA. it has its own separate admission through JAC Delhi counseling along with DTU, NSUT, NIT Delhi etc. a lot of outside-Delhi students miss this and only apply through JoSAA. make sure you register for JAC Delhi separately.97 percentile = roughly rank 30,000-35,000 range. ECE at IIIT Delhi for outside Delhi candidates (non-Delhi quota) typically closes around rank 25,000-40,000 depending on the year. so you're in the marginal zone — might get it in later rounds, might not.keep DTU ECE, NSUT ECE as backup options through JAC Delhi (lower cutoff)apply for all JAC Delhi rounds since cutoffs drop round by roundIIIT Delhi CSE outside Delhi closes much earlier (~15,000-20,000 rank), so ECE is the realistic option at 97 percentile outside Delhithe good news — IIIT Delhi ECE students get great placement in software (the institute has a strong CS culture that ECE benefits from too). if you get it, it's worth it over most other options at this rank.

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 rangeapply 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.
