Pearl Academy B.Des Admissions 2026
No. 1 Design & Fashion Institute by ASSOCHAM, India Today, Outlook and The Week rankings
The NIFT counselling is expected to start soon. The NIFT seat allotment will be done based on the candidate’s rank in the NIFT result. In this article, let’s look at the NIFT campuses and programmes for NIFT CMR 1000 to 3000 based on past cutoff trends. A rank of CMR 1000 to 3000 is an average rank in the NIFT entrance exam, and the campus choices will vary across ranks. Earlier, the National Testing Agency declared the NIFT 2026 final result on June 3, 2026.
The NIFT counselling will be done in multiple rounds. Allotted candidates will be able to secure admission into BDes and BFTech programmes as part of NIFT 2026 for undergraduate courses.
The table below provides the list of top campuses and programmes for candidates who have secured CMR between 1000 and 3000 based on the previous year's NIFT cutoff for round 1 counselling. The data shows that SC/ST candidates can secure allotment in top campuses such as NIFT Mumbai and NIFT Delhi. Candidates from the open category with CMR 1000 to 3000 can opt for less preferred and newer campuses such as NIFT Kangra, NIFT Varanasi, and NIFT Jodhpur.
