What is the possibility of admission to the NIFT MFM course with a common rank of 838 and an OBC category rank of 165?

Dear Student, 

Being in the common rank of 838 and OBC category rank of 165 in the NIFT MFM course, your admission is subject to category-wise availability of seats and NIFT 2025 cutoffs. The course MFM is very competitive, and admissions are merit-based on your GAT and PI performance, with 70% weightage to GAT and 30% to PI.

As you fall under the OBC category, your category rank of 165 will be more applicable to seat allocation under the reserved quota. Traditionally, OBC cutoffs for MFM are lower than general category cutoffs, giving you a better chance than the common rank. Yet, cutoff ranks are specific to each year based on the number of applicants and availability of seats at various NIFT locations.

You must verify that you fulfil all the eligibility requirements, such as possessing an undergraduate degree from a known university, since there is no upper age limit for MFM admissions. Monitor official counselling announcements and actively participate to get the best chances of admission. In general, with an OBC rank of 165, you have a decent prospect of admission, provided you have a good interview and counselling rounds.
