According to your marks,
If you score 0–10 in drawing then your total would be around 56–66

My score is 54 in NID DAT. Is it considered good score?
Hello,
Your Selection for DAT Mains and for admission completely depends upon the Drawing Part and Studio test respectively. 54 is good score in Part A.
But, it is of no use if you cannot score more than 15 marks in Part B . The cut-off is expected to be 65 or above.
All The Best.
