| 2021-22 | 116 | 95 |
The proportion of vacant seats in the first year of B.Tech Textile Engineering program has increased from 0.9 per cent in 2017-18 to 18 per cent in 2021.

Why are the seats empty?
According to Professor SM Ishtiaq, former head of the textile engineering department at IIT Delhi, this branch of engineering is fast becoming less popular among students. He said, “Textiles and biomedical courses are usually the least preferred by the students who choose IIT Delhi.”
Professor SM Ishtiaq said, ‘We also have a provision that if a student performs well in the first year, he can change his department. Because of this, many students go into high demand branches like electrical, mechanical etc. In this way the seats in textile remain vacant.
