    Candidates who chose the float or slide option after the NIFT 2026 round 1 allotment can fill and edit choices for NIFT 2026 round 2. The float option allows candidates to upgrade to a higher campus preference. The slide option allows candidates to upgrade to a higher preference in the BDes programme within the same campus.
