An NID rank of 50 and above is a good rank for OBC candidates to secure seat allotment at NID campuses. The NID cut-off 2026 will be released at the time of NID DAT counselling. As per the revised NID selection criteria, the NID rank will be determined based only on the performance in the NID mains. The NID DAT 2026 prelims are only a qualifying exam. In this article, let’s find out which are the top campuses for B.Des for the OBC category with a NID rank of 50 and above, as per the previous year's cut-off trends.
Through the NID B.Des entrance exam, candidates will be admitted into the B.Des programme of 5 NID campuses in India.
A good rank for the OBC category in NID DAT 2026 for B.Des admission in premier NID campuses, such as NID Ahmedabad, is expected to be below 40. In addition to NID Ahmedabad, there are four other campuses at Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. However, their cut-offs are relatively lower.
