Getting into any NIFT campus with a CMR of 3559 can be difficult. NIFT is a prestigious engineering institute and admissions are competitive. Places fill up quickly, especially at popular campuses and programs. Although there is no publicly available official data on the exact cut-off, looking at past trends and success stories, admission CMRs usually fall well below 3559. IFT offers some seats especially for non-Indian (NRI) candidates. These positions have separate selection procedures and may be less competitive. While some NIFT campuses are more desirable, others may have slightly lower cut-offs.
