NID DAT 2026: What is the Selection Process

Candidates must now take the NID DAT Mains Exam as announced by the NID following the release of the NID MDes Prelim Result 2026.  The marks from NID Prelims won't be tallied or carried over to the next level because it's only a qualifying exam for NID Mains.

Only those students who made the preliminary exam shortlist are eligible to take the NID Mains Entrance Exam. A studio test accounts for 60% of the NID DAT Mains Exam, while an in-person sensitivity test accounts for 40%.
