NTA conducts the NIFT entrance exam for admission into UG programmes such as B.Des and B.FTech at participating NIFTs. The admissions will be done through multiple rounds of NIFT counselling.
A CMR of 2000 to 3000 may not offer strong chances for open category candidates in NIFT. However, ST category candidates can secure admission to top campuses such as Delhi. Candidates applying under the state quota also have good chances of admission across various campuses with a CMR of 2000 to 3000.
Candidates can make use of the NIFT college predictor developed by Careers360 to predict the top NIFT campuses accepting CMR 2000 to 3000. The college predictor is a free tool that uses algorithms based on past NIFT cutoff trends to come up with college recommendations.
