B.FTech

The last admitted rank in NIFT-Patna in 2018 was 567 CMR. I'd say settle for any seat you get and apply till the last round of counselling as your chances are low. You can always work harder in your first year and then transfer to another college provided they have a seat available.

Yes, getting admission in NIFT is a great opportunity and also, B.FTech is a good start for your career in fashion designing.

Hi Aditi,
Congratulations on your rank.
You can get into pretty much any campus yet, Mumbai and Delhi are a little difficult to get in in your case. Do check the last merit ranks admitted in 2017 to get an idea.
I wish you all the luck.

Hi!
You can check the last year's cut-off of NIFT and merit list here to have an idea about your admission status https://www.shiksha.com/design/exams/nift-entrance-exam/cutoff.

Hi Pranitha!
You can refer to this link to see the previous years' cut off lists and have an idea where you stand in the admission queue https://www.shiksha.com/design/exams/nift-entrance-exam/cutoff.

During the counselling session, each day, they call 250 students for the counselling and they allot seats according to your merit rank. You can keep checking to see the seats that are left vacant at the end of the day and make your decision accordingly. You might want to go through the prospectus for more information.

The cutoff rank generally stands at 200-250 for OBC category for B.Tech in fashion designing at NIFT, Delhi campus. Hence chances seem mediocre here. However, you can get Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai and Gandhinagar campuses into B.Tech Fashion designing with OBC Category.
