What do NIFT Marks and NIFT Score mean?
Marks refer to the raw numerical value obtained by a candidate in each section of the exam (CAT, GAT, Situation Test or Interview). Score generally means the combined or weighted total after applying the respective weightages assigned to each test component (e.g., 50% CAT+GAT + 20% Situation Test for B.Des).
In other words, we can say that:
- Marks = What you got in the paper
- Score = What counts towards your final rank after applying weightages
- 4:05 PM IST• 20 May 2026
Can we improve our Rank in NIFT?
No, the final rank is allocated only at the time of declaration of NIFT Final Result. The NIFT Final Rank is based on performance in all the stages of the Entrance Exam: Stage 1 and Stage 2. Once the NIFTEE Final Result is declared:
• NIFT Ranks cannot be changed or improved
• There will be no option or opportunity for revaluation or rechecking.
