    Can I Change My NIFT 2026 Campus After Admission?

    The NIFT 2026 counselling process is underway. An important query on the candidate’s mind would be whether they can change their allotted NIFT campus after admission. It is possible for candidates to change the campus they are allotted during the NIFT 2026 seat allotment process. The allotted candidates can also withdraw from the NIFT counselling process and surrender their seats. In this article, let’s try to understand in detail how and whether candidates can change their NIFT campus after admission.

    The authorities will conduct three rounds of NIFT 2026 counselling, followed by a spot round for admissions into the UG and PG programmes of 20 NIFT campuses in India.

    Can I Change My NIFT Campus After Admission 2026?

    When candidates are allotted a campus in the NIFT 2026 counselling process, they are required to submit their willingness, which will decide whether they will be able to change the NIFT campus later. In addition to submitting their willingness, candidates are also required to pay the admission fee to confirm their seat. However, once candidates report to the campus for final admission, they will not be allowed to change their NIFT campus.

    There are three types of willingness from which the allotted candidate has to choose one. The details are given below -

    • Floating: Choosing the floating option means the candidate is willing to be considered for all the higher preferred choices across the campuses for further rounds of seat allotment.

    • Sliding: Choosing the sliding option implies that the candidate is willing to get upgraded to a higher preferred choice within the same campus during the further rounds of seat allotment. This option is applicable only for the BDes programme.

    • Freezing: Choosing the freeze option implies that the candidate is willing to accept the allotted course and campus. Candidates who choose to freeze their seats will not be considered for further allotment rounds.
