FAQs on NIFT Cut Off

Q: When will NIFT cutoff be released?

A:

The National Institute of Fashion Technology has announced the NIFT 2025 during the seat allotment and counseling process. The cut-off scores are accessible by institute and category for all programs at nift.admissions.nic.in. The cut-offs are established by taking into account elements such as the number of seats available, the merit rankings of candidates, the admission categories, and more. Keep in mind that if the seat intake increases, the cut-off is expected to decrease and vice versa. 

Q: I have failed to meet NIFT 2025 cut-off in previous rounds. Will I get admission?

A:

The NIFT 2025 counselling is underway. In the last version of the exam, four standard rounds, along with a SPOT round, of seat allocation took place. If you achieve the cut-off in any of these rounds, you will be eligible for admission in that round. Nevertheless, if you do not satisfy the cut-off requirements, you might be eligible for admission in later rounds as long as you meet the cut-off for those rounds. Otherwise, you will need to wait for the SPOT round, in which seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Available seats following the conclusion of the regular rounds will be made available in the SPOT round. 

Q: What is NIFT cutoff?

A:

The NIFT cutoff for a participating NIFT refers to the final rank at which admission is granted for a specific program and category. This implies that if a candidate does not achieve a rank that is equal to or above the cutoff rank, they will not be granted admission. Generally, a better-ranked institution will attract: Increased applications More qualified candidates This subsequently raises the cutoff in more prestigious (or sought-after) institutions. Similarly, an institution with a lower ranking will get a relatively smaller number of applications, primarily from candidates with lower rankings. This indicates that the cut-off in these institutions is reduced, making it significantly simpler to secure admission. 

Q: What are the details mentioned on NIFT cut-off list?

A:

The NIFT 2025 cut off list will provide information about the opening and closing ranks of candidates for each participating institute and category. The cut-off will be issued for the following categories: General, SC, ST, OBC-NCl, Domicile, and PwD. The candidate must consult the cut-off for their respective categories for the course to which they wish to apply. The opening rank is the highest rank at which the seat has been assigned. On the other hand, the closing rank is the minimum rank for which admission is allocated. Only such candidates who secure a rank equal to or higher than the closing rank will get admission.

Q: What are the various B. Des courses for which NIFT cut-off would be released?

A:

Des degree provides specialties in the following programs: Fashion design (FD) Leather Design(LD) Accessory Design (AD Textile Design (TD Knit Wear Design (KD) Fashion Communications (FC) The National Institute of Fashion Technology has announced the cut-off for each of these programs.
