Delhi is the most geographically compact state in Knwdle's directory — every tracked institute sits inside one NCT, but the admission story is not simple. IIT Delhi, NIT Delhi and IIIT-Delhi run JoSAA-counselled seats, Delhi Technological University and Jamia Millia Islamia sit inside the central/state-university system with their own entrance routes, and a smaller set of private and deemed campuses fill in the rest.
A handful of institutes we track in Delhi currently carry a numeric NIRF Engineering rank — led by IIT Delhi at #2 nationally, then Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi Technological University, IIIT-Delhi and NIT Delhi (see the ranked table below for the current list). Central government institutes are the largest single type we track here, ahead of state and deemed universities.
