NIFT 2024 Counselling Process Overview

A centralised seat allocation procedure will be used to carry out the NIFT 2024 counselling process, which will be conducted online. Based on their merit rank for the NIFT 2024 entrance exam, candidates will be chosen/ shortlisted for counselling. The NIFT written exam results and the subsequent interview stage will be the basis for producing the final NIFT 2024 results, which will ultimately define the student's ranks for the exam.

The NIFT 2024 counselling process will be offered through multiple rounds across the numerous NIFT campuses in the country. Several parameters, including the applicant's merit rank, belonging category, preferred programme seat intake, and alternatives selected by a student during choice filling, will be considered in the NIFT counselling process 2024. To facilitate verification, curious and selected applicants should have a soft copy of all acceptable documentation on hand, including evidence of qualification (s), birth certificate, and belonging category certificates such as ST, EWS, OBC, SC, PwD, and more. Following the announcement of the final NIFT 2024 results, the complete admissions procedure will be handled by the NIFT Head Office.

Students will need to confirm their enrollment at the NIFT campus by submitting the entire tuition fee once their seats have been assigned. The nodal authority will provide a receipt or allotment letter upon fee payment, which applicants have to gather as evidence of their payment submission activity. Applicants are not eligible to participate in the subsequent round of the seat allocation process if they accept the seats assigned in a given round.
