NIFT Entrance Exam

Hi Nidhi!
Unfortunately, you are not eligible for NIFT as candidates are only considered eligible to apply for NIFT Entrance Test if they are 23 years of age or below as on October 1, 2017.

Hi Sakshi,
I think the entrance of NIFT has been over but you can still look into their website if its open or not.

Yes, there should be some option try to contact NIFT office they will help. Where did you come to know about marks?

Hi Keerthi, You should first find out if NIFT scores are accepted at all. I don't think you are supposed to submit these scores when you are applying abroad. Colleges abroad and also specific countries have their own entry requirements. If you have not contacted the college yet, then please contact them and ask about this information.

Hi Akshat!
Since you are already pursuing graduation, I would suggest you to complete your graduation first and then apply for the Masters course. In order to apply for the Masters course in NIFT, you need to be a graduate in any discipline from a recognised University.
