With a score of 63 in the NID DAT, you have a realistic chance in some NID campuses (especially newer or less competitive ones), depending on your category. Ahmedabad campus usually needs a much higher score but check last year's campus cutoffs for a better estimate.

For the NID Prelims, a score of 19 is on the lower side for the OBC category. In previous years, OBC candidates who qualified for the next round had scores above 40–55 out of 100. So, with 19, sadly, it's not likely you'll make it past the prelims—but don't lose hope, as each exam is a learning experience for the next.
