The counseling registrations for NIFT 2026 will be open to candidates who have qualified in the NIFT 2026 entrance exam. It is expected to be open in June.

The candidate will be able to select their choice of NIFT 2026 participating institutes (in the order of priority) at the time of filling out the NIFT 2026 counseling registration form. Online registration for NIFT 2026 counseling will start soon after the final results are declared. 

In case of equal scores in GAT of two candidates in B.F. Tech./ MFM/ M.F. Tech, the marks obtained in individual subjects will be compared in the following order to break the tie:

1.      Communication Ability and English Comprehension

2.      Quantitative Ability

3.      Analytical and Logical Ability

4.      General Knowledge and Current Affairs

If two B.Des candidates have the same total score, their marks in the NIFT CAT will be compared first. If the CAT marks are also the same, the NIFT GAT marks will be considered next.

NIFT 2026 Counselling registration is expected to begin shortly after the final result, in June 2026.

NIFT Situation Test for B.Des, Studio Test and Personal Interview for B.Des (NLEA), Artisan Skill Test and Personal Interview for B.Des (Artisan), Technical Ability Test (TAT) and Personal Interview for B.F.Tech was held on April 26, 2026.

NIFT 2026 Seat allotment will be based on your merit rank, the programme‑campus choices you entered, and your admission category such as Open, SC, ST or PwD.

Seat intake, total number of applicants and the category under which admission is sought will be the key parameters NIFT uses to calculate the 2026 cut‑offs.

Each NIFT campus will have its own minimum marks or ranks; candidates must meet the institute‑wise cut‑off for their chosen programme and category.

NIFT will publish the 2026 cut‑offs for every campus, programme and category only after the seat‑allotment rounds are completed, including the spot round.
