DTU Round 1 Cutoff 2026: Check Delhi Region Opening and Closing Ranks
JAC Delhi has published the DTU Round 1 cutoff for 2026, providing branch-wise opening and closing ranks for Delhi Region candidates across all categories. This data helps aspirants assess their chances for admission into competitive engineering programs like CSE, IT, and SE in upcoming counselling rounds.
The Joint Admission Committee (JAC) Delhi has published the Round 1 cutoff ranks for Delhi Technological University (DTU). Candidates belonging to the Delhi Region can now check the branch-wise opening and closing ranks to understand the competition level across engineering programmes and assess their selection chances in the upcoming counselling rounds.
With thousands of aspirants competing for a limited number of seats, the first-round cutoff provides an early indication of the branches that have witnessed the highest demand this year. Courses such as Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Information Technology (IT), Software Engineering (SE), and Mathematics and Computing continue to attract top-ranked candidates, making them the most competitive options at DTU.
What do the Opening and Closing Ranks Indicate?
The opening rank is the rank at which admission begins for a particular programme and category, while the closing rank represents the last rank admitted in that round. Together, these figures help candidates evaluate whether their JEE Main rank is likely to secure admission in future counselling rounds.
