NIFT Daman Admission FAQs

Ques. Is NIFT Daman a good choice for students with lower NIFTEE ranks?

Ans. Yes, NIFT Daman has been deemed to be a good choice among those students who have low NIFTEE ranks since it is a relatively newer campus and tends to have an easier cutoff than older NIFTs. Although the cutoffs are relatively lower, the quality of academics and the curriculum are still in line with the national standards of NIFT. Students continue to receive access to expert teaching staff, industry-related projects and internship programs. Hence, it is a solid alternative to candidates, who fail to obtain seats in the most reputable NIFT campuses.

Ques. Do candidates applying to NIFT Daman need to upload any specific documents during the NIFTEE application process?

Ans. When filling out the NIFTEE application, they are required to provide a current passport sized image, scanned signature and other supporting papers like category certificate (where necessary). To avoid rejection of such uploads, they should comply with the requirements of NTA on size and format. The shortlisted candidates also require original documents to be shown during counselling and they include mark sheets, government ID, and domicile certificates. The process of admission is easier when there is correct documentation at the initial stage.

Ques. Does NIFT Daman offer any reservation benefits for local candidates from the Union Territory of Daman and Diu?

Ans. Although NIFT shares a similar national reservation policy, some of the NIFT campuses occasionally offer state domicile reservation subject to government consent. The official NIFT brochure must be consulted by the candidates to check the academical year of Daman and Diu, reservation rules can vary. In the event domicile benefits are applicable, local students are likely to get a seat advantage during counselling. But unofficially every admission is made on national reservation categories.

Ques. How many seats are available in the B.Des Textile Design program at NIFT Daman?

Ans. The seats of B.Des (Textile Design) at NIFT Daman are fixed by the NIFT Headquarters every year and they fluctuate a bit under policy modifications. Although the article does not state the number of seats per section, new campuses usually have few seats to provide the individual approach to learning and the sufficient studio access. The official NIFT admission brochure has the latest seat availability that the applicants must consult every year. The number of seats available also will enable the applicants to know what to expect in terms of preference when they are undergoing counselling.

Ques. Can students apply directly to NIFT Daman without appearing for the NIFTEE exam?

Ans. No, Indian students cannot apply directly to NIFT Daman without passing NIFTEE exam. B.Des and MFM programs are subject to entrance test, and thereafter, a Situation Test or Interview based on the course. Only NRI or international candidates can be provided with some other ways of admission, yet they have to adhere to the recommendations that NIFT has on overseas admissions. As such, NIFTEE requires all domestic applicants to appear before the board in order to secure a seat at NIFT Daman.
