my category domicle rank is 3001 can i get an admission in nift varanasi

Dear student,

If your category domicile rank is 3001 , your chances of getting into NIFT Varanasi depend on your category.

In previous years, the closing ranks for NIFT Varanasi (General category) ranged roughly between 1781 and 2071 . For reserved categories like OBC, SC, ST, or EWS , cutoffs are usually more relaxed—often allowing higher ranks (by about 20–30%).

So, if your rank of 3001 is under a reserved category , you may still have a decent chance , especially if this year sees more available seats or fewer applicants in your category.

However, if your rank falls under the General category , admission is less likely unless cutoffs increase significantly this year.

Keep in mind:

• NIFT cutoffs change every year based on the number of applicants and seat availability.

• You should still apply and participate in all rounds of counselling , as there’s always a chance of getting a seat in later rounds.

You can check official updates at nift.admissions.nic.in (https://nift.admissions.nic.in) .

With a category domicile rank of 3001 (ST), you have a good chance of getting admission to NIFT Varanasi. Based on previous year cutoffs, ST candidates with ranks up to 9000+ got seats in courses like Fashion Design and Fashion Communication.

So, with your rank, you are well within the safe range for admission under the ST category, especially if you're applying through the Uttar Pradesh domicile quota.
