The original documents would be returned after due verification. Please note that the presence of the candidate or his / her authorized representative at any of the NIFT Campuses along with the requisite documents in original is mandatory. In case, the candidate or his/her authorized representative fails to attend the Counselling session, it will be presumed that he/she is not interested in NIFT’s offer of admission and therefore will not be eligible for admission. At the time of Counselling, the Campus/Course /Category-wise seat availability chart will be displayed at all NIFT Campuses. Only the candidate/representative would be allowed into the Counselling hall. He / she would be called in order of the merit rank and offered the seat available at that point of time.
- After verification of the documents, allocation of seats will take place before the Nodal Officer of the Counselling Campus. The candidate or the authorized representative may select a seat by clicking on the monitor in the presence of the Nodal Officers. Seat allotted accordingly to a candidate would then be deleted from the pool of vacant seats displayed on the Campus screen. Candidates are advised to be present in the Counselling hall and wait for their call in order of their common merit rank. If a candidate is found unavailable when called, the next candidate on the merit rank would be called for allotment of seat and the unavailable candidate may miss his chance of merit-based seat allotment.
- After allotment of seat, candidate will be issued an allotment letter /receipt duly signed by the Nodal Officer of the Campus. The choice of Course / Campus made by the candidate / representative is final and binding and cannot be altered later under any circumstances.
- Candidates should ensure that they fulfil all the eligibility requirements mentioned in the Prospectus before they report for Counselling. The category, PHP status, religion, gender etc. once declared by candidate in the Application Form, cannot be changed as indicated in Admission Prospectus – 2015.

This option is however not available for the Differently Abled Candidates (PHP). The authorized representative must carry all the relevant documents and the full fee amount as well as the duly filled in Authorization Form (Annexure VII). Absence of the candidate or his / her representative at the indicated reporting venue may result in the forfeiture of his / her claim for a seat as per his / her merit rank.
