NIFT 2025 Spot Round Seat Allotment Results Declared; Vacant B.Des/M.Des Seats Up for Grabs

NIFT has declared the seat allotment results for the 2025 Spot Round. This is the last chance for admissions to vacant B.Des and M.Des seats. Find details on next steps, fee deadlines, and required documents.

The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) has officially declared the seat allotment results for the final Spot Round of its 2025 admission process. This is a momentous and highly anticipated development for thousands of design aspirants who were yet to secure a seat in one of the country's most prestigious design institutions. The spot round, which is the last opportunity for admission to vacant B.Des and M.Des seats across all NIFT campuses, is now a crucial phase for candidates to complete their final admission formalities and realize their dreams of a career in the fashion and design world.

The NIFT 2025 admission process has been a lengthy and competitive one, and the spot round serves as a final-call mechanism to fill any remaining vacancies. It is open to all eligible candidates who hold a valid Common Merit Rank (CMR) from the NIFT 2025 entrance examination and have not yet been allotted a seat in the previous counselling rounds. The process is a testament to NIFT's commitment to ensuring that every available seat is filled by a deserving candidate, thereby maintaining the quality and rigor of its academic programs.

Next Steps for Allotted Candidates

For candidates who have been successfully allotted a seat in the spot round, the immediate next steps are critical and time-sensitive. They must act swiftly and meticulously to secure their admission. The process is as follows:

1. Check Allotment Status: Candidates must log in to the official NIFT admission portal at nift.admissions.nic.in to view their allotment status. They will need their roll number and password to access the portal and check if they have been assigned a seat in their preferred course and campus.
2. Payment of Admission Fee: The most important step after seat allotment is the payment of the admission fee. Candidates must pay the prescribed academic and admission fees online within the deadline specified by NIFT. Failure to make this payment by the deadline will result in the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat, and the candidate will not be considered for admission in this academic year. The fee payment window is generally short, so prompt action is essential.
3. Physical Reporting: Once the fee is paid, candidates must prepare to physically report to their allotted NIFT campus on a specified date. This stage involves the mandatory verification of all original documents and is a final check to ensure that the candidate meets all the eligibility criteria. It is imperative for candidates to have all the required documents, along with self-attested copies, ready for this process.

Required Documents for Physical Reporting

Aspirants must ensure they have all the necessary original documents, along with self-attested photocopies, for the physical reporting. A typical checklist includes:

• NIFT 2025 Scorecard/Rank Card.
• Class 10th and 12th Mark Sheets and Certificates.
• Graduation Mark Sheets and Degree (for M.Des applicants).
• Proof of Date of Birth (10th Class Certificate).
• Valid Caste/Category Certificate (OBC-NCL/EWS/SC/ST), if applicable, issued in the prescribed format and dated on or after April 1, 2025, for OBC/EWS categories.
• PwD Certificate/UDID Card (if applicable).
• Medical Fitness Certificate in the format prescribed by NIFT.
• Two passport-size photographs.
• Proof of fee payment.

Looking Ahead: Key Dates for the Spot Round

While the seat allotment results have been declared, the subsequent steps of the admission process have a defined timeline. The payment of the admission fee is expected to be open for a brief period, following which the physical reporting date will be communicated. Candidates are highly encouraged to frequently check the official NIFT admission portal and their registered email for any further announcements. This spot round is a final chance for many to join the NIFT community, and aspirants must ensure they do not miss any deadlines to successfully complete their admission journey.
