Each IIT is an autonomous institution, linked to the others through a common IIT Council, which oversees their administration. The Minister of Human Resource Development is the ex-officio Chairperson of IIT Council.
The President of India is the most powerful person in the organisational structure of IITs, being the ex officio Visitor, and having residual powers. Directly under the President is the IIT Council, which comprises the minister-in-charge of technical education in the Union Government, the Chairmen of all IITs, the Directors of all IITs, the Chairman of the University Grants Commission, the Director General of CSIR, the Chairman of IISc, the Director of IISc, three members of Parliament, the Joint Council Secretary of Ministry of Human Resource and Development, and three appointees each of the Union Government, AICTE, and the Visitor.
The IIT Delhi in particular is a government organization and hence the judgement of Pradeep Kumar Biswas shall not apply to the same directly.
The Institute has been declared to be an Institutes of National Importance under the Institutes of Technology Amendment Act, 1963 and accorded the status of a full University with powers to decide its own academic policy, to conduct its own examinations, and to award its own degrees.
The IIT Delhi has been given the status of Institute of Eminence (IoE) which graded autonomy but full autonomy, leaving this institutes to make their own decisions.
Therefore, in my advise and in my limited knowledge since the institution has the statutory source, therefore the same will be considered to be a part of government.
I hope I was of little help to you.
