The NIFT exam conducted in the month of February 2023, was a unique examination due to a sudden change in the mode of conduct. However, the online exam has been quite successful. Last year NIFT GAT Answer Key has been published by the National Institute of Fashion Technology on February 21. The primary takeaways from the Answer Key are:

• You can revisit the entire question paper.
• You can estimate your scores to verify if you'd qualify for the next stage.
• You can recheck the questions and answers mentioned to raise objections if the question is incorrect or the answer given by authorities has some errors.

Two versions of this NIFT Answer Key shall be released. One is the provisional answer key that has already been released. The other one is the final answer key which shall be released after scrutinizing the objections raised by the applicants.

How to Calculate Scores Using NIFT Answer Key 2023?

To calculate the scores, you need to be aware of the marking scheme for NIFT. Let us first understand the marking scheme for B.Des and M.Des courses:

GAT Marking Scheme for B.Des

As per the NIFT Exam Pattern, for each correct answer, 1 mark is awarded and 0.25 marks are deducted for wrong answers.

GAT Marking Scheme for M.Des

For M.Des also, 1 mark is awarded for the correct answer while 0.25 marks are deducted for the wrong answer.

For Example: 

Out of 100 questions in GAT B.Des, you have attempted 94 questions, and the remaining 6 are unanswered. By verifying your answers from the NIFT Answer key, you have answered 78 correctly, while 16 are incorrect. Now, let us understand how to calculate the score. 

Marks for Correct Answers: 78*1= 78

Marks for Incorrect Answers: 16*0.25= 4

Marks for Unattempted Questions: 6*0 = 0

NIFT Score= (Marks for Correct Answers) - (Marks for Incorrect Answers) = 78-4 = 74
