Hello Kajal

It was expected that the answer key will be out in January 2019 only however they have still not released it. We still have 6 days in hand for January to end and then ask the authorities about it.

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

Thank You

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.

Dear Student,

Greetings.

 National Institute of Design had opened the correction window for making changes in the application form of NID DAT 2019 from December 1, 2018  (12 noon) to December 4, 2018 (till noon). So, now it cannot be changed.

Hello Praveen,

I am attaching a link which will redirect you to the page giving you all the important dates for the NID DAT 2019.

Hope this answers you well. 

Hi, thanks for reaching us. There might be some confusion or some typing error. To take admission in NID, you need to give DAT exams (prelims and mains) and then you'll be selected for studio test and interview round. As fas as I remember, to get admission in NID you'll need to get a score of 55% for a person from OBC category. It changes every year so you'll need to check their website. But I will suggest to aim higher than to be on the safer side. Whereas you give CAT (Creative Ability Test) and GAT (General Ability Test) exams to get into NIFT. Since, they have campuses all around India, each campus gives out their cut off list for various courses. If you want to know more about NIFT, tell me your preferable campus and course.

The qualifying cutoff percentile score of NID DAT 2019 has been announced by the National Institute of Design for B.Des. admissions. The exam conducting institute will also declare the NID DAT 2019 cutoff in form of score obtained by the last candidate admitted. CAREERS360 cut off for NID DAT 2019 is released on the basis of the cut off that is been provided by the National Institute of Design.

find below the cut off list:
