NIFT 2025 Round 3 Admission Fee Payment & Withdrawal Closes Today: Secure Your Seat!
NIFT 2025 Round 3 admission fee payment, willingness submission, and withdrawal deadline is today, July 29. Allotted candidates must complete formalities and report physically on July 30
Today marks a critical deadline for fashion and design aspirants who have been allotted seats in the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) 2025 Round 3 counselling. The window for admission fee payment, willingness submission (Freeze/Float), and withdrawal from admission for NIFT 2025 Round 3 closes tonight, July 29, 2025, at 12:00 midnight. This is the absolute final call for candidates to secure their provisional admission or officially withdraw.
The Round 3 seat allotment results were declared yesterday, July 28, bringing thousands of aspirants closer to their dreams of studying fashion and design at NIFT's prestigious campuses.
Crucial Actions Required by Midnight Today:
Candidates who were allotted a seat in NIFT 2025 Round 3 must complete one of the following actions via the official NIFT admissions portal (nift.admissions.nic.in) before the deadline:
- Accept and Pay Fees (Freeze/Float):
- Freeze: If a candidate is satisfied with the allotted seat and college, they must select the 'Freeze' option.
- Float: If a candidate accepts the allotted seat but wishes to be considered for an upgrade to a higher preferred choice in subsequent rounds (if any, typically Spot Round), they must select the 'Float' option.
- In both 'Freeze' and 'Float' cases, payment of the admission fee is mandatory. Failure to pay the fee will result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat. The non-refundable counselling registration fee paid earlier will be adjusted against the admission fee.
- Withdraw from Admission:
- Candidates who no longer wish to pursue admission at NIFT through this round can submit a withdrawal request through the portal. Withdrawing within this window typically allows for a full refund of the fees paid (excluding the registration fee).
Important Note: Any candidate who fails to either pay the admission fee or submit a withdrawal request by the deadline will automatically lose their allotted seat, and they will not be considered for any further counselling rounds (including the upcoming Spot Round).
Mandatory Physical Reporting Tomorrow, July 30:
Following today's deadline, the next critical step for all candidates who have successfully confirmed their admission by paying the fees (whether 'Freezing' or 'Floating') is mandatory physical reporting at their respective allotted NIFT campuses.
- Date of Physical Reporting: July 30, 2025
- Action: Candidates must bring all original documents along with self-attested photocopies for verification. This step is crucial for finalizing the admission formalities. Specific reporting times and detailed document checklists will be available on the NIFT portal or the respective campus websites.
Prepare for Spot Round if Needed:
For candidates who did not receive an allotment in Round 3, or those who wish to withdraw from their current allotment and try their luck again, information regarding the Spot Round Counselling is expected to be released shortly. Registration for the Spot Round is tentatively scheduled to begin from August 1, 2025.
Conclusion:
Today is a decisive day for NIFT 2025 aspirants in Round 3. Prompt completion of fee payment and willingness submission is essential to secure their allotted seats. All admitted candidates must also ensure they are prepared for the mandatory physical reporting at their campuses tomorrow, July 30, 2025, to finalize their admission to NIFT.
