Answer
First of all as you are BFA you need to really stand out of at least many who pass every year and given it's a direct art course you better have best skills almost ranking in top 15/20 across India.
Secondly, you have to have a very good communication skills, as it's must many BFA lack on this.
Third on your portfolio - typically for VC they would look for your skills on themes, what you say is it really in there in your portfolio from idea, metaphors etc. MOre than how many what can you cover best may be top 5/6 works you can showcase but ensure you can showcase them well in about 10/15 mins. Try to cover different aspects in works like photogrpahy, sculptures, sketching, concept, abstracts etc. Do not bore the examiners with tonnes of work but just one type. In general typically interviews long for good candidates, so do not worry much about the interview time...
Also in general it's seen that if you are over confident or show you know everything under the world - you may even be asked "ehy you want to join design course? you knwo it all already?"
Another note for all - no of KGs of work does not matter, you may even see people before interiew showing work to all other students around, with huge portfolios etc. don't worry about it. I know even a candidate who just did 2 scupltures in soap got selected
Best of luck!
