Additionally, candidates can be considered if they have completed any Board/Public School/University Examination conducted in India or abroad, which is equivalent to the 10+2 system and is accorded recognition by the Association of Indian Universities.

So, your performance in this entrance exam is a crucial factor in determining admission to NIFT Gandhinagar for the B.Des program.
