IIIT Delhi 2012 FAQS

  • What is the status of IIIT-D, is it recognized by UGC/AICTE, does it have any relationship with IP univ, etc?
    In India, a University can be created by UGC giving it a "Deemed University" status, or by an Act of Union or State Government. IIIT-Delhi was created through the latter means - by an Act of Govt of NCT Delhi (IIIT Delhi Act, 2007). As it was created by an act of a State Legislature, it is a State University. The Act empowers it to give degrees.
  • I got less than 80% in Mathematics XII of CBSE, but my overall marks are more than 80%, will I be eligible for admission in IIITD ?
    No. A student is eligible if in Class XII Boards he/she:  (i) has obtained 80% or more in Maths,  (ii) AND has obtained 80% or more overall (i.e. in all the five subjects) in Class XII Board results.
  • I got less than 80 % in XII in CBSE, shall I still sit in the admission test, just in case seats become available later?
    There is no point in applying if you do not fulfill the eligibility criteria.
  • If I got 80 % in Mathematics in XII in CBSE, but my overall marks are less than 80%, will I be eligible for admission in IIITD ?
    No.
  • Why is the eligibility criteria rather high in marks?
    Unlike other entrance tests for Engineering colleges/institutes, IIITD's admission test is not on class XII subjects, and we rely on class XII education for them. So, to ensure that students have the necessary background in mathematics and overall, the eligibility criteria has been kept at this level. Another reason is that IIITD has very few seats, and it is necessary to restrict the number of applicants to a reasonable number, as we feel that it is not proper to ask a large number of students to sit in an admission test when there are only a few seats.
  • Who is a “ Delhi candidate”?
    The students who have undertaken qualifying exams (i.e. 12th) from the schools located in Delhi, irrespective of the location of their hometown, would be considered as "Delhi Candidate".
  • I am from outside Delhi. Do I need to apply or appear in the entrance test?
    If you have done class XII from a school outside Delhi, you can only be considered for outside Delhi seats. For these seats, you must apply, but you do not need to take the entrance test - the selection for these seats will be done on the basis of AIEEE rank from among the candidates who have applied.
  • As I am not appearing in the entrance test, do I still need to pay the application fee?
    The fee is application cum admission test fee, and all applicants have to pay this non-refundable fee of Rs 500 along with your application.
  • Any photocopy of the certificate needs to be attested along with the application form or not.?
    No certificates need to be sent - they will be checked at the time of admission.
