Have a question related to NIFT Delhi ?

Hlo i am Yamuna , I want to join in Nift college in chennai B.Des fashion designer Recently i am write my 12th exam When they conduct the entrance exam

Hii,

The NIFT entrance exam for B.Des (Fashion Design) was held on February 9, 2025 . Since you've just finished your 12th exams and missed this year's entrance, you'll need to apply for the next NIFT exam , which will likely be in February 2026 .

The application process usually starts around November of the previous year—so for you, that will be November 2025 .

For NIFT 2026 (Next Cycle):

  • If you missed the 2025 exam, prepare for the NIFT 2026 entrance exam, likely to be held in February 2026 .
  • The application process typically starts in November 2025 . Keep an eye on nift.ac.in or exams.nta.ac.in/NIFT for notifications.
