There will be approximately three rounds of NIFT counselling and one spot counselling for UG and PG programmes for NIFT 2026. Last year, NIFT released a cutoff for three regular rounds and one SPOT seat allotment round as per NIFT counselling.
Here we have mentioned NIFT 2026 expected cutoff course-wise on the basis of previous year trends.
B.Des (General Category): 110 to 120 rank (varies by campus)
B.F.Tech (General Category): 95 to 105 rank
M.Des (General Category): 160 to 170 rank
MFM (General Category): 150 to 160 rank
Reserved Categories (OBC/SC/ST/PwD) will have lower cutoff ranks as compared to the general category.
These are approximate closing NIFT rank ranges for popular campuses, likely to be similar to or slightly higher than last year.
NIFT Delhi: <100
NIFT Mumbai: 100-200
NIFT Bengaluru: 130-250
NIFT Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata: 300-600
Other campuses like Bhubaneswar, Patna, Jodhpur, etc might have the rank band of 600-1200+ depending on programme & category.
