Hello,
It’s completely understandable to feel disheartened after not getting a seat in the first and second rounds, especially when you’ve filled all the colleges and have your hopes set on a particular course like Fashion Communication . With an OBC rank of 1910 and CMR 7192, your chances can improve in the upcoming counselling rounds as more students withdraw or shift to other colleges.
So make sure to check the further rounds of counselling and don’t lose hope. Many students get seats in the 3rd, 4th, and mop-up rounds. You can also consider updating your preference list or keeping a wider range of courses and campuses open in case you're okay with related fields.
Keep checking the official NIFT website for updates on seat allotment and further counselling instructions.
Thank you

Hello,

According to your query, you didn't get any seat in rounds 1 and 2 because your preferred colleges are highly competitive, and even your reserved category can't help you in this case. In this case you need to wait for the spot round, where you may have some chances, and if you can't wait, you should choose less competitive colleges.

I hope it resolves your query!!

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.
