My open merit rank is 2843 and OBC rank is 540 (BDes). What are my chances to get in top 5 campus ? Or get fashion design

Hello Anjali, Forgive me. There have been serious miscalculations by me. I Checked the wrong data. I checked the CMR, not the category rank. I rechecked it again and concluded that you will get fashion design in NIFT Jodhpur(2018 OBC closing rank after the final round was 3326), NIFT Kangra(2018 SC closing rank after the final round was 3159). But if you choose apparel design you can get NIFT Kolkata(2018 SC closing rank after the final round was 3459). But you need to wait till the last round because you mightn't get the seat in the first round but you'll eventually get it in the next rounds.

Sorry for the inconvenience and the unpleasant experience you had to go through.

Hello Anjali, Based on your category rank and last year cutoff you can get fashion design in all the NIFTs except Delhi(2018 OBC Closing rank 343) and Mumbai(2018 OBC closing rank 472). I suggest you go for NIFT Bengaluru(2018 OBC Closing rank 622) because it is best NIFT after Delhi and Mumbai campus. if you choose apparel design then you can get all the NIFTs including Delhi and Mumbai. But it's your decision to make what course you want to study. But let me remind you that you need to wait till the last round to get fashion design in Bengaluru because the ranks I stated those are closing ranks decided in final round counseling.
