Counselling FAQs
Yes! JAC Delhi does not require JEE Advanced qualifying score. All allotments in DTU, NSUT, IIITD, IGDTUW, and DSEU are strictly based on JEE Main Paper 1 (B.Tech) Common Rank List (CRL) ranks.
If you are allotted a seat, you must pay a seat acceptance fee (typically around ₹95,000) online to participate in subsequent rounds and document verification. If you decide to withdraw before the official withdrawal deadline, a partial refund is issued after a nominal processing fee deduction.
The Spot Round is conducted at a physical venue (usually one of the college campuses) after all regular counselling rounds are completed. It is meant to fill any vacant seats. Spot rounds are open to candidates who have not been allotted any seats in regular rounds, and cutoffs often relax significantly during this round.
