Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT)

Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida, established 2001 by the Jaypee Group, is one of the most respected private engineering institutes in the Delhi NCR region. Located on a 25-acre fully-residential campus in Sector 62, Noida - adjacent to the Delhi NCR IT corridor - JIIT has 20+ years of heritage, strong CSE placements, and a consistently active alumni network at FAANG and Indian unicorns. Among the highest-ROI private engineering options in north India.

JIIT-Noida is the flagship Jaypee Group engineering campus. JIIT Guna (Madhya Pradesh) is a separate sister campus with significantly different ranking and placement profile.

BTech admission through JEE Main rank via JIIT's internal counselling. ~1500 BTech intake. CSE and IT are the dominant clusters with competitive cutoffs.
