NID Dat Result 2023 for Prelims

The National Institute of Design (NID) will release the NID DAT Prelims results for MDes and BDes courses on different dates, with the former being announced on 28 February and the latter on 30 March. The preliminary exam was conducted on 8th January and a large number of candidates participated in it. It takes about two months for the institute to announce the NID DAT Result 2023 for Prelims, which is a reasonable timeline for any exam-conducting body.

Qualified candidates from the prelims will have to appear for another critical phase of the examination, NID DAT Mains, after which the final NID DAT Result 2023 will be declared, and eligible candidates will be offered seats in the National Institute of Design.

NID DAT 2023 Expected Cut Off

The National Institute of Design will release the cut-off for different categories at the time of counseling in May. After the exams are over, NID releases the NID DAT 2023 Cut Off for all categories, based on which seats are allotted to students. Seats for each category are pre-decided or reserved, so competition becomes intense. In general, the cut-off score to qualify for the prelims examination is between 20 to 35, depending on the institutes.

Some top-ranked institutes require a high cut-off for prelims, such as the National Institute of Design Ahmedabad, where the prelim cut-off last year was 31. The cut-off also varies for different branches, like animation and film design, which have the highest cut-off due to their demand in the film industry, high value, and packages.
