NIFT 2027 Registration Deadline Extended: New Dates Announced for Design Admissions

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially extended the registration deadline for the National Institute of Fashion Technology Entrance Examination (NIFTEE) 2027. This extension provides prospective students seeking admission into various undergraduate and postgraduate design programmes additional time to complete their application process.

Candidates who have not yet submitted their forms can now do so through the official NTA portal at exams.nta.nic.in/niftee. The extension applies to all applicants interested in pursuing B.Des, B.F.Tech, M.Des, M.F.M, and M.F.Tech courses offered by the institute.

Updated NIFT 2027 Application Schedule and Correction Window

Under the revised schedule, the final date to submit the NIFT 2027 application form with the standard registration fee is November 24, 2026. This adjustment serves as a significant update for students who missed the original deadline of November 16, 2026. By completing their registration before this new cutoff, candidates can avoid the additional late fee of INR 5,000.

For those unable to meet the November 24 deadline, the NTA has provided a secondary window. Applications will be accepted with the mandatory late fee payment from November 25, 2026, through November 29, 2026. Following the conclusion of the registration process, the NTA will facilitate an application correction window. This period, scheduled from November 30, 2026, to December 2, 2026, will allow registered candidates to make necessary modifications to their submitted details.

Despite the changes to the registration timeline, the NTA has confirmed that the examination date remains unchanged. The NIFT 2027 entrance exam is scheduled to be conducted on January 10, 2027. Applicants are advised to ensure that all scanned documents are uploaded correctly and the fee payment is processed successfully before the respective deadlines to avoid any complications in their candidature.
