The National Institute of Fashion Technology published the NIFT 2026 round 1 seat allotment on June 27. However, certain candidates who registered for the NIFT counselling may not have secured allotment. The good news is that there’s nothing to worry as there are two more rounds of NIFT seat allotment left along with the NIFT 2026 spot round. Let’s try to understand what to do if no seat was allotted in the NIFT 2026 round 1.
The seat allotment in NIFT 2026 is done based on the candidate’s rank in the NIFT entrance exam and the campus choices filled in.
Candidates who registered and filled choices during the NIFT 2026 round 1 counselling but did not obtain a seat can wait for the second round of counselling to begin. The choice filling and editing for the NIFT 2026 round 2 will be open from July 3 to July 5, 2026. Candidates can register and provide their campus choices through their login. The seat allotment for NIFT 2026 round 2 will be announced on July 7.
Such candidates are eligible to participate in the second round counselling
Candidates must provide as many campus preferences as possible to maximise their admission chances. There is no limit on the number of campus choices that can be given.
Candidates who did not secure NIFT 2026 round 1 allotment are not required to pay the counselling registration fee of Rs 9300 again to participate in the second round.
The NIFT 2026 seat allotment round 2 result will be announced on July 7 and it can be checked through the candidate login.
