Once NID DAT (Prelims) is completed, a merit list is prepared based on the tie-breaker policy of NID 2020 through which the candidates are shortlisted for the next exam, NID DAT (Mains). The final merit list of NID is formulated considering the scores obtained by candidates in all the rounds of admission.
