Prioritise Your Preference: Candidates who are filling their campus choice are advised to arrange their preferences in a proper order which you prefer. The best way to arrange the campus preference is to go through every campus's eligibility criteria and understand the range of ranks that every campus accepts. Place your dream campus at the top, followed by realistic and safe options.
Campus Preference Based on Career Goals: All the candidates who are eligible for the NIFT counselling session will have to go through all the NIFT campus prospectuses to understand the industry exposure given to them in specific design and fashion programmes.
Keep Backup Options: It is advised to not fill only the top campuses, as there is a high chance of cancellation if the candidate's CMR rank is not eligible. It is better to include multiple campus choices to improve your chances of securing a seat in the initial counselling rounds.
Candidates who complete the NIFT counselling process, and once the seat is allotted, they will have to accept the seat and complete document verification and fee payment within the given deadline. Those who wanted to get a seat in a better college may participate in subsequent counselling rounds, depending on the available choices and counselling rules.
It is highly recommended not to choose a campus based only on its popularity. Consider your rank, preferred course, career goals, and opportunities available at each campus.
