Till then we can only wait for the answer sheet. You can keep checking on the official website for the answer key: http://admissions.nid.edu/NIDA2019/Default.aspx.

We will also update it as soon as the answer key is out. Keep visiting the following link for the updates: https://design.careers360.com/articles/nid-dat-answer-key

I believe that you might be able to qualify the prelims but it still is a close call. You can't be as sure. I'd suggest you stay ambitious, however, while staying open to some of more B.Des programmes offered in India. I'd here recommend JK Lakshmipat University, which offers B.Des in Product Design, Interaction Design, and Interdisciplinary Design. The B.Des programme at JKLU is designed and led by A. Balasubramaniam, one of the most prominent designers of India, an NID veteran himself.

JK Lakshmipat University is the philanthropic initiative of the 125-year-old JK Organisation. You can go through their information at www.jklu.edu.in and apply for their entrance exam.

Hey, 

Your  application would be rejected in the end so i hoghly recommend you that you must refill the form

Thnaks for asking in Careers360.
