Q:   Is the NIFT cut-off fixed?

A:
The, cut-off of NIFT for the various academic courses is not fixed. This is because the cut-off depends on variables like seat intake, the performance of applicants in the NIFT exam, total number of applications received for admission, etc. Now these variables may change from year to year. For instance, the number of candidates appearing in NIFT and qualifying the exam may be different across the years. And when that happens, the cut-off also changes. Typically, if the seat intake increases, the cut-off goes down and vice versa. Likewise, if the number of applicants increases, expect a higher cut-off.

Q:   Do I need to check previous years NIFT cut-off to prepare for the exam?

A:
While the NIFT cut-off is not static, it is good idea to take a look at the cut-off record. It is because by consulting the cut-off, the candidate will get a fair idea as to what is a safe score or rank for admission. When consulting the cut-off table, it is important that the candidate refers to their chosen programme and respective category only. After consulting the cut-off and analyzing any specific trends, the candidate needs to prepare acrodingy. For instance, if the aim is to get into NIFT Delhi, the candidate will have to prepare with a different intensity, then say getting admission to NIFT Srinagar.
Thumbs Up IconUpvote Thumbs Down Icon

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.

NIFT Cut-off 2025 - FAQs

Read the frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to the NIFT 2025 cut-off below.

Q:   How can I check NIFT cutoff?

A:

Candidates can check NIFT cutoff 2025 online on the official website of the National Institute of Fashion Technology. NIFT cutoff is released as a PDF file containing the opening and closing ranks. The cut-off would be category-specific. So, the candidate needs to check the cut-off for the category they belong to. Also, note that candidates from reserved categories will be considered for admission under general category as well. However, candidates belonging to open category will not be considered for admission under reserved categories.

Thumbs Up IconUpvote Thumbs Down Icon

Q:   What is the NIFT closing rank for admission to NIFT Panchkula?

A:
The cut-off for NIFT Panchkula is released category and programme-wise. So, candidates seeking admission to a particular programme need to consult the cut-off in their reserved or open category. For the year 2022, the opening CMR of Dom. OBC category for the Fashion communication was 6023; the closing CMR was 6414. The opening CMR for admission to the Fashion Design course was 5182, while the closing CMR was 5298. Meanwhile, for the M.Des programme, both the opening and closing CMR for the Dom. OBC category was 528. Note that CMR stands for common merit rank.
Thumbs Up IconUpvote Thumbs Down Icon

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.

Thumbs Up IconUpvote Thumbs Down Icon

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

A:
The master's programme is offered in the following disciplines - Master of Design (M. Des. ) Master of Fashion Management (M. F. M), and Master of Fashion Technology (M. F. Tech. ). The cut-off would be released separately for all these courses. This means, if the candidate meets the cut-off criteria for M. Des but fails to meet the cut-off for M. F. Tech, in that case the candidate will only be eligible for admission to the M. Des programme. So, the candidate needs to check out the cut-off or closing ranks for the programme they are seeking admission to. The cut-off would be determined by considering factors like total applicants, seat intake, merit ranks of the applicants, and also admission category.
