Q:   What are the various factors that determine NIFT cut off?

A:

NIFT cutoff depends on variables like: seat matrix, category of the candidate, total applications, category, Common Merit Rank (CMR) of the candidate in NIFT 2025, and the popularity (or ranking) of the institute. If any of these variables changes, the cut-off would also change. For instance, if the number of applicants goes up, the cut off would also go up. On the contrary, if the number of applicants is low, the cut-off would stay on the lower side. Candidates planning to appear in the NIFT 2025 exam may consult the previous years cut-of for the exam to get an idea as to what is a safe score or admission. When checking the cutoff, it is important to however refer to ones own category.

Q:   What is the cutoff for Diploma in Fashion Product Design and Technology (FPDT) at NIFT Delhi?

A:
The cutoff for the NIFT entrance exam is based on various factors like the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, seat availability, and past-year cutoff trends. It is best to check the official website of NIFT or contact their admission office for the most up-to-date and accurate information about the NIFT Delhi cut-offs in 2023 about the diploma programs, as they're unavailable on the online websites.

Q:   Is the NIFT cut-off higher for top institutes such as NIFT Delhi?

A:
NIFT Delhi is frequently ranked among the top design colleges in the country. So, the admission cut-off for the institute is pretty high, especially when compared to the lower ranked colleges. This is because being a higher ranked college, NIFT Delhi receives a higher number of applicants. Another factor is more number of higher ranked candidates want to get admission in the institute, which also pushes up the cut-off. On the other hand, lower ranked colleges are not a priority for the top ranked candidates; meaning a higher number of lower ranked candidates applies to these institutes. This keeps the cut-off low in these institutes.
