NIFT Entrance Exam Dates

National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi, is the best based on the India Today ranking (2025). 

NIFT Delhi is considered the best NIFT campus in India because of the following:

• It consistently ranks No. 1 among all NIFTs (India Today Ranking: 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021)

• It has the the widest range of specialisations in design, fashion, technology, and management.

• It has the the strongest placement record with top recruiters from fashion, retail, and luxury brands.

• It is located in the capital, and it provides students with maximum industry exposure through fashion weeks, exhibitions, and collaborations.

The NIFT entrance exam is considered moderately difficult. The level of difficulty of the exam depends on a student's strengths and preparation. Since seats are limited and competition is high, even average questions feel tougher due to the pressure.

• B.Des exam tests creativity, design aptitude, observation, logical reasoning, and general awareness, which can be challenging and requires practice and skills like creativity, good observation, design thinking, etc.

• B.F.Tech exam has more focus on quantitative ability, reasoning, and English, making it closer to an aptitude test. Mathematics is compulsory for B.F.Tech.

• M.Des, M.F.Tech and M.FM, demand a basic understanding of the fundamentals of design.

For students who regularly practice sketching, mock tests, GK, and reasoning questions, the exam is quite manageable. NIFT is not about rote learning but about creative thinking and time management.
