The NIFT 2027 application form opened on October 16, 2026. Interested candidates can submit the NIFT application form on the official website: exams.nta.nic.in/niftee. Payment of the application fee is an important part of completing the NIFT registration process. Only those candidates who pay the fee and submit the application form will be issued the admit card to appear for NIFT 2027. In this article, let’s understand the guidelines issued by the NTA for NIFT 2027 application fee payment confirmation and the refund rules.
The NIFT entrance exam is conducted for admission into various UG and PG design programs of NIFT campuses in India.
The NIFT application fee has to be paid online using internet banking or a debit/credit card and a payment gateway. The application fee varies for different categories of candidates. The table below provides the fee for various categories-
Category | Fee |
Open / Open-EWS*/OBC(NCL) (For either B.Des. or B.F.Tech. or M.F.M. or M.Des. or M.F.Tech. or Ph.D.) | Rs 2000 |

Upon successful fee payment and NIFT application form submission, a fee confirmation page will be generated, which verifies that the fee payment is complete. Applicants are not required to send the confirmation page to the NTA. Once the confirmation page is generated, candidates are required to do the following -
Download and save the confirmation page for future reference
Download and save the fee payment receipt (proof of fee payment) for future reference
Photographs, the same as the ones uploaded at the time of NIFT registration, must be kept for future use.
In case the confirmation page is not generated, applicants are advised to wait for some time. However, even after sometime if the confirmation page is not generated, then the transaction will be cancelled and the amount will be refunded back to the candidate’s account. Applicants must try to complete the fee payment again and generate the confirmation page.
If the NIFT 2027 application form fee has been paid twice, then applicants should not worry. Any extra fee payment will be refunded to the applicant’s bank account from which it was made.
In this regard, the authorities have clearly specified that the NIFT 2027 application fee is not refundable under any circumstances. So, candidates must pay the application fee after carefully considering whether they fulfil the eligibility criteria and want to appear for the exam or not.
Candidates can contact the NTA helpdesk in case of any queries or any problems with regard to payment of the NIFT application fee. The contact details are given below.
