Expected NIFT 2026 Cutoff and Merit Rank Analysis

The expected cutoff for NIFT 2026 is likely to vary depending on programme, category and campus preference. According to student reactions and exam analysis, the cutoff may remain slightly lower compared to previous years. For B.Des programmes, a Stage 1 score between 40 and 50 marks is expected to be considered competitive for General category candidates. For OBC and reserved category candidates, the expected qualifying range may remain lower.

Top campuses such as NIFT Delhi, NIFT Mumbai, NIFT Bengaluru and NIFT Hyderabad are expected to close admissions at lower ranks because of higher competition.
