Commonly asked questions
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:   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:   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.
