For the cutoffs for being placed into NIFT Bangalore and NIFT Chennai you can please check the last merit rank admitted in 2018 to get the possible cutoffs for B.Des in Fashion Design.

The 3 year Undergraduate Technical Program is based on the National Skills Qualification Framework (levels 5, 6 and 7) and the degree offered is B.Voc and whereas the 4 year Undergraduate Professional Programs in Design and in Fine Arts trains students in the various fields of art and design with a focus on cross-disciplinary education and the degree offered is B.Des or B.F.A

Both Architecture & Engineering are great fields to be in. However, your choice must not depend on the opportunities once you graduate. Rather, your choice must be based on your personality and fit with the program.

Engineering is more suitable to Left Brain dominant individuals - or those who have an affinity for numbers, logic etc. Engineering entrance exams like JEE Paper 1 & JEE Advanced will test you primarily for these skills.

Architecture requires both Left Brain and Right brain skills sets - i.e. Logic / Analytical as well as emotional / creative skill sets. Hence, entrance exams like NATA & JEE Paper 2 will test you for both logical / Analytical skills along with Creative skills like spatial ability and Design sketching.

Try taking this Aptitude Test - It will probably help you understand your skills to make a good decision

For qualifying for B.Arch one has to secure at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and 50% marks in aggregate of the 10+2 level examination and also a minimum of 25% must be secured in MCQ portion (30 out of 120) and 25% in Drawing portion (20 out of 80).

Additionally, NATA & JEE Paper 2 are only Qualifying exams. These scores need to be sent to the respective boards / colleges for admissions along with your 12th board marks.

The merit ranks are relative each year and can not be predicted. However, you can get an idea about this based on last year cut off for SPA’s and NIT’s.

You are eligible to get admission in to architecture programs across India. There are multiple ways to get admissions:

1. Through the Government seat allocation process
2. Through direct admission into colleges through their entrance exam processes
3. Through Management seats

At least one of these options will be open to you. Consider some of the colleges listed on DQ Edge

All the best!
