The application process for the NIFT Entrance Exam 2025 is currently underway, with the last date to apply without a late fee being January 6, 2025. Candidates who miss this deadline can still apply until January 9, 2025, by paying an additional late fee. To ensure successful submission, applicants should carefully fill out the application form, upload all required documents—such as academic certificates, valid ID proof, and recent photographs—and make the payment through the official NIFT website. Early application is highly recommended to avoid potential technical glitches and last-minute rushes. Before starting the application, candidates should have all necessary documents organized and ready. Staying informed through regular visits to the official NIFT website is essential for receiving timely updates about exam dates, admit card releases, and other important notifications.

Dear Student,

Though the merit list and final result of NIFT were released on June 25, 2020, the cut-off and counselling process is still pending for NIFT, Chennai. The premier institute of design has not announced the dates for the rest of the schedule yet. The NIFT cut-off for B.Des is most likely to be out in July/August and candidates can check it online.

To get a better grip of the B.Des admission through NIFT, take a look at seat matrix & reservation policy of NIFT. You are advised to be patient and keep visiting the NIFT cut-off and NIFT counselling process pages from time to time. 

NIFT offers a limited number of seats for B.Des admissions each year. To keep your options open, you can also fill up the CAF (Common Application Form) or you can dial 1800-572-9877 (toll-free). An admission expert will help you connect with the college of your choice!

In case of more queries write to us on CollegeDekho QnA zone. Your issues would be tackled within a short span of time! 

Thank You
