School of Planning & Architechture, New Delhi: JOSAA and DASA Admission, Seat Matrix, Fees, Cutoff and Placement

SPA New Delhi Admission 2026: B.Arch & B.Plan Seats, Fees, Cutoff, Placement

School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), New Delhi is a centrally funded Institute of National Importance specialising in architecture, planning and the built environment. Its origins go back to 1941. At undergraduate level, the institute offers the five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) and four-year Bachelor of Planning (B.Plan).

SPA New Delhi appears in JoSAA as an Other Government Funded Technical Institute (GFTI). Admission to B.Arch and B.Plan uses JEE Main Paper 2A and Paper 2B ranks respectively, not the Paper 1 B.Tech rank list. The 2026 JoSAA seat matrix lists 175 seats across the two programmes.

Category-wise Seat Distribution

SPA Delhi Fee Structure 2026–27

The institute issued a 15 July 2026 first-semester fee notice for new B.Arch/B.Plan students admitted through JoSAA/CSAB. The charges below are institute tuition and other fees, excluding hostel.

Already-paid JoSAA/CSAB fees are adjusted against the institute fee except the ₹5,000 JoSAA processing fee, as stated in the official admission notice. Students must follow the actual institute balance-fee instruction on their allotment/reporting record. View official 2026–27 first-semester fee notice.

SPA Delhi Hostel Fee 2026–27

Hostel fees are paid separately after hostel allotment. The ₹28,000 figure is not a guaranteed hostel place and does not include a separately verified mess budget. Official hostel fee notice.

SPA New Delhi JoSAA Cutoff 2026 — Final Round

The table shows JoSAA Round 5 (final) OPEN, Gender-Neutral opening and closing ranks. B.Arch uses JEE Main Paper 2A rank; B.Plan uses Paper 2B rank. These are different rank lists and should not be compared with the B.Tech Paper 1 CRL.

SPA New Delhi CSAB Special Round Cutoff 2026

The available CSAB Special Round 2026, All India quota, OPEN, Gender-Neutral data lists B.Plan with an opening rank of 471 and a closing rank of 520. These values are sourced from the supplied CSAB result table. The supplied table contains no B.Arch OPEN Gender-Neutral entry, so no B.Arch OPEN cutoff is claimed.

CSAB ranks in the supplied result are described as All India ranks. For B.Arch/B.Plan, compare the rank corresponding to the relevant JEE Main Paper 2 programme, and do not compare these values directly with B.Tech Paper 1 CRL cutoffs. No 2026 DASA OPEN final-round ranks were supplied, so a DASA cutoff table is not shown.

SPA New Delhi Placement — Official NIRF 2026 Data

The institute’s NIRF 2026 submission reports the following outcomes for the 2024–25 graduating batch. The programme durations are kept separate; these figures refer to students graduating in the stipulated minimum time, not the 2026 placement season.

These are official NIRF counts, not a placement rate for all job-seeking students. A large share of B.Plan graduates proceeded to higher studies; therefore comparing the two courses using placed/graduated alone can be misleading. No unverified highest or average package has been added. Official NIRF 2026 institute submission.
