Greetings,

The National Institute of Fashion Technology  provides undergraduate and graduate-level courses. NIFT Bhopal offers numerous undergraduate courses, including BDes Fashion Technology and BDes Textile Design. Applicants who want to get admitted to BDes must take the NIFT Entrance Exam and then attend NIFT Entrance Exam Counselling., in accordance with the NIFT Bhopal cutoff 2023. Although a percentile score of 75% on the NIFT exam is good, admission is ultimately determined by a number of factors, including candidate performance, available seats, previous year's cutoff, etc.
