The deadline to apply for the NIFT B.Des entrance exam 2025 was January 6, 2025 for on-time submission, without any applicable additional fee. If one didn't make the application by that date, you still had the chance to apply until January 9, 2025, however, you would then need to pay a late fee of INR 5,000. 

After January 9th NIFT typically doesn't extend to receive any additional applications. So for any of you, who would like to plan for next year or a future session just remember — NIFT closes its forms always in early January, its probably better to apply a little bit early if you are worried about the late fees!

JIMS Vasant Kunj conducts the JIMS Entrance Test (JET) for B.Des admission. Candidates with valid scores in exams like IPU CET, UGAT, or CUET are exempt from JET and considered for admission based on their interview performance.
