Q&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
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.
Q:   When will NIFT cutoff be released?
A: 

The National Instituite of Fashion Technology will release the NIFT 2026 at the time of seat allotment and counseling.

The cut-offs will be available institute and category-wise for all the program at nift.admissions.nic.in.

The cut-offs will be prepared by considering factors like the seat intake, the merit rank of candidates, admission category, etc. Note that if the seat intake is increase the cut-off would likely go down and vice versa.

No, each aspirants can only submit 1 application for each category for NIFT Delhi admission. Submission of multiple applications is treated as violation of NTA guidelines. NTA cancels candidature entirely in case of multiple form submission.

No, 3000 rank is not enough for admission in top-tier campuses like NIFT Delhi specifically for General category candidates. The closing rank is between 150 and 250 for NIFT Delhi. Students can opt for NIFT campuses with less competitive closing cutoff, such as NIFT Srinagar, NIFT Shillong, etc.
