The NID 2022 prelim exam results for M. Des and B.Des were released on April 23rd and 30th, 2022. The authority has only announced the results online. The final result for M.des was announced on July 6, 2022.
The cut-off marks are the minimum marks that candidates must achieve in order to be eligible for counselling. Each category’s NID cut off will be released separately. The authority also relaxes the cut-offs for reserved categories.
The NID 2022 cut-off will be determined by a number of factors, including the previous year’s cut-off, the marking scheme, the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates who took the exam, and so on. As a result, in order to gain admission to NID and its affiliated campuses, the cut-off marks must be met.
The NID cut off is the final merit rank for admission to participating institutes’ B.Des (or M.Des) courses. The cut-offs would be based on the following categories: General, EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD, and Supernumerary.
Candidates must take both the DAT Prelims and the DAT Mains to be included in the merit list and considered for admission. The marks obtained in the NID DAT Prelims are used to shortlist candidates for the DAT Mains, with no fewer than three times the number of seats available in each category.
