The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), one of India's premier institutions for fashion education, has opened admissions for undergraduate and postgraduate programs for the 2026-27 academic year. Aspiring students can apply for a range of courses in fashion design, management, and technology.

This year, NIFT has also reduced the entrance examination fee, making the application process more accessible to students across the country. The deadline for submitting online applications has been extended to January 13, with a grace period from January 14 to 16 for those applying with a late fee.

The NIFT entrance examination will be held on February 8 and conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in 102 cities nationwide. Candidates can find detailed information about the syllabus, examination regulations, and application procedures on the NTA portal at https://exams.nta.nic.in/niftee/.

This extension gives students who missed earlier deadlines a second chance to apply. With its focus on creativity, innovation, and industry readiness, NIFT continues to be a top choice for students seeking careers in fashion and related fields.
