Hi Ashish!

You can expect to get qualified in the NID DAT prelims but merit cannot be a guarantee for you. I'd suggest you to stay ambitious, however, while keeping your mind open to the other innovative design programmes offered in India. Here, I'd recommend two institutes.

-Claiming to be the first Design University of India, Anant National University offers B.Des in Interior, Space, Interaction, Product and Communication Design. Know more about the course at www.anu.edu.in

-JK Lakshmipat University, the corporate university of the 125-year-old JK Organisation, offers B.Des programmes in Product, Interaction and interdisciplinary design. Know more about the courses at www.jklu.edu.in

I would especially recommend the B.Des programme in interdisciplinary design if you are uncertain about your calling in design since it provides you with a holistic flavour of design as a concept, rather than just concentrating in one aspect of it.

Hi,

You can expect to be qualified because the 50 is the qualifying marks for GEN category, the 45 is marks for OBC and for SC,ST and PwD is 40 marks.
