NID DAT 2026 Results by Creative Edge
The NID DAT 2026 Prelims marked one of the most competitive attempts in recent years, especially with the major shift to a fully CAT (drawing + thinking) paper. Despite this change, Creative Edge students delivered strong and consistent results.
NID 2026 B.Des - Toppers List (Final)
| AIR | Student Name | Creative Edge ID |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | Vidushi | 6632548 |
| 34 | Shraddha | 6548960 |
| 42 | Mohit | 6600740 |
| 60 | Lakshya | 6272657 |

NID 2026 PG Final Results
| AIR | Student Name | Creative Edge ID | Program (M.Des) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ayush | 6741589 | M.Des - Textile Design & Apparel Design |
| 2 | Vikash | 6681300 | M.Des - Animation Film Design |
| 3 | Rutuja | 6285271 | - |
The students on this list followed a phased routine that focused on mastering approach instead of memorizing. Our NID study plan for 2027 is a detailed week by week plan designed to crack the DAT with the same concept-first approach.
Why These Results Stand Out
The NID 2026 DAT looked noticeably different from recent years. The Prelims shifted to a qualifying round only, final selection rested entirely on the Mains, and the paper leaned harder into design thinking than drawing finish - making it less predictable and more concept-driven.
| Year | NID DAT Prelims | Final-selection weightage | Paper focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Scored round | Prelims ~40% + Mains ~60% | Aptitude + drawing |
| 2025 | Scored round | Prelims ~30% + Mains ~70% | More concept-led |
| 2026 | Qualifier only | Mains 100% | Concept & design-thinking driven |
- No GAT section - 100% creativity-based paper
- Heavy focus on design thinking and real-life problem solving
- Questions required idea clarity, not just drawing skills
Despite this, Creative Edge students were able to perform well, which indicates:
- Strong foundation in design thinking
- Ability to handle unexpected CAT questions formats
- Practice of concept-based drawing questions

Why These Results Stand Out
UCEED is known for its balanced and unpredictable paper pattern, requiring:
- Strong visual reasoning for UCEED
- High visualization ability
- Good time management
- Clear design thinking
Having multiple students under AIR 100 and AIR 200 shows depth of preparation, not just isolated toppers.
If you’re weighing your options, here’s an honest look at whether you should join Creative Edge for design-entrance prep.

How we report results:
Every student named here is a verified Creative Edge enrollee (each row carries a Creative Edge Student ID). A "selection" means a student received at least one admission offer or qualifying result from a listed institute in that exam cycle.
Rank and AIR figures are taken from official NID, UCEED (IIT Bombay) and NIFT result cards. Where a student qualified in more than one exam, they are counted once per exam. Figures are updated as each exam's final results are declared.

In Their Words: Creative Edge Topper Journeys
Ranks tell you what happened. These students tell you how. Here are a few Creative Edge achievers, in their own words.
"Joining Creative Edge was a turning point. Before that I lacked clarity, but under the guidance of the mentors I navigated every level of the NID exam."
"Here students are taught to be good designers, not just to qualify the exam. With the help of great faculty, I cleared all three exams with a good rank."
"The coaching was exceptional — personalised guidance and a focused curriculum that honed my skills. Whether aptitude, drawing or design, the faculty always cleared my doubts."
"Securing AIR 69 in NIFT B.F.Tech was a dream come true. The regular mock tests and doubt-clearing sessions helped me a lot in achieving this rank."
"From a computer-engineering background with limited resources, I cleared NIFT M.Des with AIR 19 in just four months. Their study materials and mock tests made all the difference."
"I had only a month to prepare after my Class 12 exams. With Creative Edge's masterclass I scored 99.16 percentile in JEE B.Arch and 173 in NATA."

What These Results Actually Tell You (and How Toppers Got There)
Numbers are easy to publish. What's harder - and more useful if you're preparing for 2027 or 2028, is understanding why a batch produces an AIR 35 in UCEED and a 47% qualification rate in the same year. Three patterns show up in our toppers, year after year:
1. They prepared for the thinking, not the test.
NID and UCEED have moved weight onto concept, observation and reasoning rather than finished drawing skill. Our AIR-under-100 students spent their early months on idea generation and visual thinking - not just rendering. If you can draw but can't think in problems, you're preparing for the wrong exam.
2. They treated mocks as diagnosis, not scoring.
The students who improved most didn't just take mocks - they analysed every wrong answer and reworked weak areas. A mock you don't review is a mock wasted.
3. They Prepared for Multiple Exams Together
Several names on this page appear across NID, UCEED and NIFT. Preparing for the shared core - aptitude, observation, sketching, design thinking, let them sit multiple exams on one preparation base and multiply their admit chances.
If you take one thing from these results: start with how you think, benchmark honestly with mocks, and keep more than one door open.
Curious what a given score converts to? Our UCEED marks vs rank guide shows how AIR 35 and AIR 100 map to actual marks.

The Creative Edge Results 2026 show strong performance across NID, NIFT, and UCEED, with:
