NID DAT cut-off 2025: The National Institute of Design will release the cut-off for NID DAT 2025 (Prelims) at the time of the declaration of results. The cut-off will include the minimum marks a candidate needs to secure to be shortlisted for DAT Mains. If the candidate meets the qualifying cut-off, they will be considered for the next stage of the admission process. The qualifying cut-off is different from the admission cut-off, which is released during the admission process. The final result of NID DAT 2025 will be prepared by giving weightage to DAT Prelims and DAT Mains.

NID DAT (Prelims) B.Des result 2025 is set to be announced on April 1, 2025, with the rechecking window opening the same day and closing on April 2, 2025, at 4 PM. The result for DAT Mains M.Des will be declared on May 6, 2025, and the rechecking window will remain open from May 6 to May 7, 2025, until 4 PM.  

The qualifying status will be mentioned in the scorecard. The admission cut-off for NID DAT 2025 will be released during NID DAT 2025 counseling and seat allotment. The seat allotment for NID B.Des will take place from May 27, 2025, to May 30, 2025, while the seat allotment for M.Des is scheduled from May 6, 2025, to May 7, 2025. The admission cut-off will be released for each seat-allotment round. The NID DAT 2025 admission cut-off is the last merit rank for admission to participating institutes' B.Des (or M.Des) courses. Only candidates who meet the cut-off will be considered for admission. So, if the candidate fails to meet the cut-off, she or she will not be admitted.
