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.

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.

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).

All candidates would be called for Counselling as per their Common Merit Rank. Once the seats in a particular category are filled up, there will be no further admission to that particular category. Candidates will then be called for Counselling, for the category in which seats are available. The status of vacant seats will be updated on NIFT website every day. Therefore, all candidates are advised to check NIFT website regularly and to plan their Counselling accordingly. They should report to the NIFT Campus selected for Counselling at the specified date and time, with the requisite documents as indicated in para V, failing which the available seat may be allotted to the next available candidate as per the order of the merit list.
- COUNSELLING CALENDAR FOR ALLOCATION OF SEATS
As indicated above, Counselling for allocation of seats will start by mid-June 2015. Everyday approx. 250 applicants, irrespective of the category, would be called in order of their common merit rank. The Admission Department would sincerely try to attend to all the candidates called for Counselling on a particular day. Therefore, the process may end up late in the evening. Candidates are advised to make their travel plans accordingly.
Candidates belonging to category other than ‘General’ will have a choice to choose from a seat meant for General Category or from seats reserved for the respective category. All candidates of General Category will also have a choice to choose vacant seats available in the NRI category as “Children/Ward of NRI” in order of their merit. Candidates who may be inclined to choose a seat under the category of “Children/Ward of NRI” in order of their merit against a regular available seat in any Course/Campus are advised to come prepared with requisite documents and demand draft of Rs.5,79,900/-.
All candidates having a Common Merit Rank may register themselves for Counselling for Admissions 2015.
