The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) has opened applications for its 2027 entrance examination, offering students an opportunity to pursue careers in fashion design, technology and management. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is conducting the National Institute of Fashion Technology Entrance Examination (NIFTEE) 2027 for admission to undergraduate, postgraduate and other programmes.
According to the official schedule, online registration began on 16 October 2026, and the entrance examination is scheduled for 10 January 2027. Interested candidates should complete their applications before the deadline.
For students who enjoy creativity, clothing design, textiles and fashion business, NIFT can be an attractive option for higher education. However, choosing the right programme requires more than an interest in fashion. Candidates must check their educational qualifications, age requirements, application fees and entrance examination pattern before registering.
With the application window now open, students have time to prepare their documents and complete the online process. Here are the important dates, fees and application details candidates should know before applying for NIFT 2027.
The NIFT entrance examination is conducted for admission to various programmes offered by the National Institute of Fashion Technology. These include Bachelor of Design (B.Des.), Bachelor of Fashion Technology (B.F.Tech.), Master of Design (M.Des.), Master of Fashion Management (M.F.M.) and Master of Fashion Technology (M.F.Tech.). Lateral-entry and other eligible categories are also covered under the admission process.
According to the published schedule, candidates can submit their application forms without a late fee until 16 November 2026. Those who miss the regular deadline can apply until 21 November by paying an additional late fee of ₹5,000. The application correction window is scheduled for 22 to 25 November 2026.
The entrance examination is scheduled for 10 January 2027. Depending on the programme and examination component, assessments may be conducted in computer-based or pen-and-paper mode. Candidates should consult the official information bulletin for the applicable examination pattern.
The application fee depends on the candidate's category and the number of programmes selected. For one programme, the fee is ₹2,000 for Open, Open-EWS and OBC-NCL candidates, while SC, ST and PwD candidates pay ₹500. Candidates applying for two eligible programmes must pay ₹3,000 in the Open, Open-EWS and OBC-NCL categories or ₹750 in the SC, ST and PwD categories.
Eligibility conditions vary by programme. Applicants should read the NIFT Admissions Guidelines 2027 and information bulletin to confirm the required educational qualifications, age limit and any programme-specific conditions. Candidates should also keep their photograph, signature and relevant certificates ready before starting registration.
To apply, visit the official NIFTEE portal, complete the registration, enter the required personal and academic details, upload the prescribed documents and pay the applicable fee. Review the form carefully before submitting it and save the confirmation page for future reference.
Students should avoid waiting until the last day, particularly if they need time to resolve document or payment issues. They should also monitor official announcements for updates to the schedule, admit card availability and examination instructions.
NIFT 2027 offers an opportunity for eligible students to pursue specialised education in fashion and related fields. Candidates who want to build a career in design, fashion technology or management should check the programme requirements and apply within the prescribed period.
