NIFT Counselling

To apply for NIFT counseling at MIT Institute of Design, interested candidates must first fill out the online application form available on the official website of MIT Institute of Design. The counseling process for NIFT is expected to be conducted online as a centralized seat-allotment process, and students will be shortlisted based on their NIFT rank and choice filling. Additionally, MIT Institute of Design conducts its own counseling process based on the final merit list prepared by considering the candidate's performance in the MITID DAT. The seat allotment to various design courses at MIT Institute of Design will be based on the merit rank of the candidate in the MITID DAT entrance exam. Candidates who have qualified in the entrance exam will be considered for admission, and they will have to pay the seat acceptance and admission fee to complete the admission process. The counseling schedule for MITID DAT will be announced by the institute at the time of the declaration of results.

The information provided by the candidate when filling out the NIFT 2026 application form are verified by NIFT officials before any candidate is considered for admission in the first week of June.

The verification of original documents is conducted online. 

Note that at the time of counseling registration, the candidate is required to upload documents. 

Also, if the certificates are in any other language than Hindi/ English, then a certified translation in Hindi/ English produced duly verified by the issuing institution/ gazetted officer. If the candidate fails to produce the translation, the candidate may be denied admission. 

It's important to keep in mind that, while sketching abilities can be advantageous, they are not the only criterion for admission if you're interested in pursuing a Master's in Design in Interaction or Graphic Design from organisations like NID (National Institute of Design), NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology), or IITs.

 Institutions often analyse candidates' talents, creativity, aptitude, portfolios, and interview performance holistically. The entire skill set needed for design programmes includes more than just sketching; admissions committees also take into account things like conceptual thinking, problem-solving capabilities, the ability to communicate visually, and an awareness of design concepts.

All the best for your further studies!
