My daughter cleared UCEED exam with AIR 79 and NIFT exam with AIR 89. We are confused either we go to nift Or to UCEED, can you help us out

S. Saha Student Expert 27th Jun, 2020

Only a few seats are offered through UCEED in IITs. Now if you are from general category, then you can expect only IITDMJ. As other IITB and IIT G close within 45 to 50 rank. Now coming to your NIFT rank, it is extremely good. And with this rank, you can expect top campuses of NIFT Like Mumbai, Bangalore and even New Delhi whatever course you choose as you have extremely good rank. So I would suggest you to go for NIFT as there are better chances for you.
