Delhi State Quota — 85% of Seats
85% of seats are reserved for Delhi domicile candidates through the state counselling authority. Domicile eligibility typically requires continuous residence or schooling within Delhi. Cutoffs through state quota are usually 1–3 percentile points lower than AIQ for the same category.

NRI Quota seats at DTU are available to Non-Resident Indians, OCI/PIO holders, and Indian students sponsored by a first-degree NRI relative.
