NIFT Entrance Examination 2024 Structure
The National Institute of Fashion Technology Entrance Examination (NIFTEE) is conducted by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and comprises two modes of examination: the computer-based General Ability Test (GAT) and the paper-based Creative Ability Test (CAT). Successful completion of this test allows eligible candidates to apply for various undergraduate and postgraduate courses (BDes/BFTech/MDes/MFM/MFTech) offered across NIFT campuses.
For BDes programs, applicants must undergo an entrance examination involving both the Creative Ability Test (CAT) and the General Ability Test (GAT). Shortlisted candidates from the exam are then required to participate in a Situation Test and a Personal Interview (PI).
Candidates applying for the BFTech program only need to take the General Ability Test (GAT). Those aiming for the MDes programme must undertake both CAT and GAT. As for the MFM and MFTech programs, candidates are only required to appear for the GAT and a subsequent personal interview.
