IIAD Entrance Exam Result 2027: Expected January 2027 at iiad.edu.in, Admission, Merit List and Scorecard

The IIAD Entrance Exam Result 2027 will be released in a phase-wise manner on the official website iiad.edu.in. The Indian Institute of Art and Design (IIAD), New Delhi, conducts two aptitude tests — the IIAD Design Aptitude Test (iDAT) for B.Des programmes and the IIAD Management Aptitude Test (iMAT) for Fashion Business Management — and publishes results within two to three weeks of each exam phase. The 2027-28 admission cycle is expected to kick off with Phase 1 in December 2026, with the final merit list and admissions likely wrapping up by June 2027.

After qualifying the written test, you will be called for a Studio Simulation (design courses) or a Personal Interview (management course). IIAD also sends your result directly to your registered email ID.

• IIAD 2027 result enables admission to B.Des and PG programmes — Fashion Design & Management, Interior Architecture & Design, Communication Design, Fashion Communication, and Fashion Business Management.
• The result scorecard includes section-wise marks, total marks, merit rank, and qualifying status.
• Results are released phase-wise — candidates who appear in earlier phases receive results sooner and have better access to seat availability.
• Qualifying in iDAT leads to a Studio Simulation; qualifying in iMAT leads to a Personal Interview.
• IIAD operates rolling admissions — once seats in a programme fill up, they are not available in later phases.
• The result is emailed to your registered email ID in addition to being available on the IIAD admissions portal.

IIAD prepares a programme-wise merit list based on combined performance in the aptitude test and the Studio Simulation or Personal Interview round.

IIAD Entrance Exam Result Previous Year Statistics

IIAD is a private design institution with a selective, rolling admission model. Unlike centrally conducted national exams, IIAD does not publish aggregate statistics such as total candidates appeared or overall qualifying percentages. The table below covers cycle-wise milestones — phases conducted, Phase 1 result timeline, and when the admission window closed — based on available information from official IIAD communications and education portals.

IIAD has consistently run a three-to-four phase admission window each year, with Phase 1 opening in December and final admissions closing by June. The 2025–26 cycle expanded to four phases — a sign of growing interest in design education. Since total seats are limited across all programmes, the competition in early phases is tighter than it may appear.

The table below shows the approximate seat intake per programme, giving you a sense of how selective each course is.

With roughly 200–250 total seats and a rolling fill-up model, qualifying and attending an early phase significantly improves your chances of landing your first-choice programme.

IIAD Entrance Exam 2027: Scorecard and Merit List

IIAD releases the scorecard only for candidates who qualify the written aptitude test. It is your key document for the next round — Studio Simulation or Personal Interview — and for the admission process later.

What your scorecard contains:

• Candidate name and application number
• Programme applied for
• Section-wise marks (iDAT covers Visual Ability, Cultural Awareness, and Logical Thinking)
• Total marks obtained
• Merit rank
• Qualifying status (Qualified / Not Qualified)

About the Merit List

IIAD publishes a programme-wise merit list after each exam phase. Only candidates on the merit list are invited for the Studio Simulation or Interview. The final admission merit list comes after combining your aptitude test score with your Studio Simulation or Interview performance. IIAD does not publish a fixed weightage formula, but both rounds carry significant weight in the final decision.

Save your scorecard after downloading it — you will need it at the Studio Simulation or Interview and again during document verification at admission time.

What After IIAD Entrance Exam Result 2027?

Once you qualify the written test, the post-result process moves quickly. Here is the full journey from result to admission.

Step 1 — Studio Simulation or Personal Interview
Qualified candidates are scheduled for a Studio Simulation (design courses) or Personal Interview (Fashion Business Management). These happen at IIAD’s campus in New Delhi or at a designated city centre. The date is emailed to you after result declaration.

Step 2 — Final Merit List
IIAD releases a programme-wise final merit list after combining your written test score and Studio Simulation or Interview performance. Your rank on this list determines whether you get a seat offer.

Step 3 — Seat Offer and Acceptance
If you make the final merit list, IIAD sends a seat offer. You usually have a few days to confirm it. Pay the initial admission fee within the deadline to secure your seat — delays can result in the seat going to the next candidate.

Step 4 — Document Verification and Enrolment
Submit original documents (Class 10 and 12 marksheets, photo ID, photographs) in person or online as per IIAD’s instructions. Complete enrolment before the deadline to avoid forfeiting your seat.

If you don’t qualify or miss your seat in Phase 1, you can re-appear in Phase 2 or Phase 3 — as long as seats are still open for your programme. Later phases carry more risk since popular programmes like Fashion Design tend to fill up early.
