To get an idea of the minimum marks and rank required to get admission, candidates can check the past 5-year NIFT cutoff PDF in the table below. NIFT cutoff marks are released in category-wise as well as course-wise.
A good rank in the NIFT entrance exam depends on various factors such as the course, the category, and the campus preference of the candidate. Generally, a lower rank indicates a higher chance of getting admission to the desired programme and campus. However, there is no fixed cutoff rank for NIFT admission, as it varies every year based on the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the seat availability. Understanding the correlation between NIFT marks and rank can help candidates to estimate rank for secured marks.
Students frequently ask whether they can secure a seat with a rank of 4000 or 4500 in the NIFT entrance exam. To answer this, candidates can refer to the table below, which provides the range of opening and closing ranks based on the previous year's data.
