NIFT Delhi All Questions

With a Common Merit Rank (CMR) of 7192 and an OBC rank of 1910, not getting a seat in Fashion Communication in the first two rounds is expected, as FC is a high-demand course with lower closing ranks. In past years, FC in top NIFT campuses (like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore) closes under OBC rank 1000 or even earlier. For lower-tier campuses, OBC closing ranks may extend slightly beyond 1500, but rarely cross 1800.

Since you’ve already filled all colleges and didn’t get a seat, you should now:

1. Participate in the Spot Round (if announced):
   Keep checking the official NIFT admission portal for spot round updates. Vacant seats (if any) across courses and campuses will be filled here, and cutoff ranks often drop slightly.

2. Stay updated on seat withdrawals:
   After Round 2, some candidates withdraw seats due to other admissions. This might free up seats in less preferred campuses, so ensure you're part of any subsequent counselling steps.

3. Consider other departments:
   If you're flexible, you might have better chances in other departments like Accessory Design, Textile Design, or Knitwear Design where closing ranks are generally higher.

4. Check for internal sliding (if applicable):
   In case you get a seat in a different course/campus during later rounds, internal upgrades to FC (based on preference and merit) might happen if seats open.

Hello,

With a common merit rank of 8624 and an OBC category, you can secure a NIFT campus with ease. But you can't secure popular ones like Delhi or Mumbai and highly competitive programs like 'Fashion Design.' So, you should focus on the counseling and focus your preferred programs over the NIFT campuses. With this strategy you may not get the NIFT campus, but you can get your preferred program in a good institute.

I hope it resolves your query!!

Dear aspirant,

With a common merit rank of 9460 and a category rank of 587, it's very likely that you will be eligible for B. Des program at NIFT. But it will depend on the specific campus and course you're aiming for. With your category rank, you have a good chance of securing a seat in some of the NIFT campuses, particularly in the later rounds of counseling . You can explore NIFT campuses like Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, and Kangra, or consider the second and third rounds of counseling to potentially move to a higher ranked campus. But with a CMR of 9460, you might not get into top NIFT centres in the 1st round of counselling. The cut off for each courses varies depending on the campus, program and category.
