NIFT 2025 Result: Tie-Breaker

NTA used a tie-breaker policy for candidates with the same marks to determine the final ranks. Here is how the tie-breaker criteria for determining final ranks work:

  • To resolve a tie, NTA considers the score of the test that carries more weight. For example, if two candidates have the same GAT score for B.Des, the CAT score is used to break the tie since it has a higher weightage
  • If candidates have the same score in the CAT test, the GAT test scores are considered to break the tie.
  • If the tie remains, section-wise marks are considered in the following order: Communication Ability, English Comprehension, Quantitative Ability, Analytical Ability, and General Knowledge & Current Affairs.

 

NIFT 2025 Result: Benefit Marks for Wrong Answers

NTA awarded benefit marks to candidates for any incorrect questions identified in the NIFT answer key.

  • Candidates who have attempted the wrong questions in the NIFT 2025 are awarded benefit marks.
  • This policy applies to both GAT and CAT tests.
  • To get benefit marks from wrong questions, candidates would have to raise challenges to the answer key released by NIFT.
  • If experts deem the question to be incorrect, candidates who have attempted it are awarded marks.
