NIFTEE Stage 2 Admit Card 2026 is Finally Out — Here's Everything You Need Before April 26

If you've been nervously checking your phone every few hours, here's the update you've been waiting for. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the NIFTEE Stage 2 Admit Card 2026, and you can download it right now at exams.nta.nic.in/niftee.

The big day is just around the corner — Sunday, April 26, 2026. Whether you've been prepping for months or pulling last-minute all-nighters, it's time to get your hall ticket sorted and walk into that exam centre with confidence.

Where Do You Download It?

Head straight to exams.nta.nic.in/niftee, click on the "Admit Card for NIFT (UG)" link, punch in your application number and date of birth, and your admit card will be right there on your screen. Download it, print it, and keep it somewhere safe — trust us, you don't want to be scrambling for it on exam morning.

Oh, and don't forget — your city intimation slip is available on the same page. Many students miss this, so take a moment to grab that too.

What's Actually Happening on April 26?

The exam will be held across 28 centres spread across 20 cities nationwide, so chances are you won't have to travel too far. Depending on which NIFT programme you've applied for, here's what your day looks like:

• Situation Test (B.Des.) — 10 AM to 12 noon
• Studio Test (Lateral Entry) — 10 AM to 12 noon
• Artisan Skill Test — 10 AM to 12 noon
• Technical Ability Test or TAT (B.F.Tech Lateral Entry) — 10 AM to 11 AM, OMR-based
• Interviews for all candidates — starting 2 PM onwards

Some parts of your evaluation will happen right there on the spot, while others will be reviewed later. So bring your A-game from the moment you walk in.

Please Don't Be Late — This Is Non-Negotiable

NTA has made it crystal clear — no candidate will be allowed entry after 9:30 AM, no exceptions. Not even one minute past. So set two alarms, leave early, and factor in traffic. This is not the morning to test your luck.

Make sure you carry:

• A printed copy of your admit card
• A valid photo ID — Aadhaar, PAN, passport, anything government-issued

You've Come This Far — Make It Count

Stage 2 of NIFTEE is where creativity meets opportunity. Whether you're walking into a Situation Test with your hands ready to build something beautiful, or sitting down for a Technical Ability Test, remember — this is your moment to show NIFT exactly why you belong there.

Take a deep breath, trust your preparation, and go give it everything you've got. All the best!
