IIT Delhi seems to be on a downhill run. In 2010 it was number one on this list, but in  subsequent years it had fallen in rankings consistently, viz. rank 3 in 2011 and rank 6 in 2012, missing out on the top 5 T-Schools. It performed below its reputation on all major parameters in 2012. On placements, it skidded down to #8 by scoring merely 19.77, indicating that IIT Delhi is no more an institution of top choice for the industry. However its competence on the infrastructure parameter saw an impressive 7.3, above other institutes. But its lackluster show on other parameters like academic environment (#6), and HR response (#3) affected its rank this year. IIT Delhi is a name to reckon with, and draws a lot of interest among industries and students, thanks to the technology it adopted to efficiently run the institute to get world-class processes with the deployment of ERP (Enterprise resource planning).
