NIFT Courses, Duration and Study Focus
Start by comparing what you would study each week. Someone who enjoys garments and pattern development may prefer Fashion Design; a student interested in visual storytelling may prefer Fashion Communication. Apparel Production has a different technical focus, while management programmes address business decisions in the fashion sector.

|---|---|---|
| B.Des. | 4 years / 8 semesters | One of seven specialisations: Accessory Design, Fashion Communication, Fashion Design, Fashion Interiors, Knitwear Design, Leather Design or Textile Design; availability depends on campus |
| B.F.Tech. – Apparel Production | 4 years / 8 semesters | Apparel manufacturing processes, production systems, quality and technology |
| M.Des. | 2 years / 4 semesters | Advanced design practice, research and interdisciplinary approaches |
| M.F.M. | 2 years / 4 semesters | Fashion business, merchandising, retail, marketing and management |
| M.F.Tech. | 2 years / 4 semesters | Advanced fashion technology, production and related technical applications |
Useful campus checks: Fashion Interiors is listed at Raipur and Varanasi. Leather Design is listed at Chennai, Kolkata, New Delhi and Raebareli. M.F.Tech. is listed at Chennai and New Delhi. These details follow the 2027 seat matrix.
NIFT also publishes separate rules for doctoral study, lateral entry, artisan admissions and continuing education or diploma programmes. Their entry points, availability, duration and fees should be checked in the relevant notice.
NIFT Fee Structure for the 2027 Intake
The prospectus publishes a common academic fee schedule for regular non-NRI students. The first-year figure in the campus table is the same because it refers to that schedule. Hostel, mess and personal expenses depend on the campus and your living arrangements.
| Fee component | Semester 1 | Semester 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition | ₹1,50,000 | ₹1,50,000 |
| Annual library fee | ₹10,000 | — |
| Annual mediclaim and student development fee | ₹4,900 | — |
| Annual examination fee | ₹4,900 | — |
| One-time refundable security deposit | ₹12,600 | — |
| One-time registration fee | ₹9,300 | — |
| Total payable | ₹1,91,700 | ₹1,50,000 |
| First-year total | ₹3,41,700 | |
Year-wise and full-course academic payments
| Academic year | B.Des. / B.F.Tech. | Two-year master's programme |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1: 2027–28 | ₹3,41,700 | ₹3,41,700 |
| Year 2: 2028–29 | ₹3,36,700 | ₹3,42,900 |
| Year 3: 2029–30 | ₹3,53,800 | Not applicable |
| Year 4: 2030–31 | ₹3,77,200 | Not applicable |
| Scheduled course total | ₹14,09,400 | ₹6,84,600 |
The annual and full-course figures above are our sums of the prospectus semester amounts, rather than separate fee quotations. They include the refundable ₹12,600 deposit. The ₹6,200 alumni membership fee is scheduled in semester 7 for regular UG students and semester 3 for regular PG students. That explains the difference between UG and PG second-year payments.
NRI and other admission routes: The figures above apply to the regular non-NRI schedule. NRI-category, lateral-entry and doctoral fees have separate tables in the prospectus; use the schedule matching your admission category.
Fee source: NIFT 2027 prospectus, printed page 155. Hostel availability and charges must be obtained from the selected campus.
Admission Guidance: Eligibility and Application Route
For 2027 entry, use the current NIFTEE information bulletin and NIFT prospectus together. The following is a starting checklist; alternative qualification routes and category provisions are detailed in those documents.
| Programme | Basic qualification check |
|---|---|
| B.Des. | Recognised Class 12 / 10+2 or one of the alternative qualifications specified in the prospectus; check the applicable UG age rule |
| B.F.Tech. | The standard 10+2 route requires Mathematics. Check the listed diploma and other equivalent qualification routes in the 2027 bulletin |
| M.Des. / M.F.M. | A recognised undergraduate degree in any discipline, or the specified minimum three-year undergraduate diploma from NIFT/NID |
| M.F.Tech. | The specified B.F.Tech. qualification from NIFT or another legally recognised institute/university, as set out in the 2027 rules |
Follow the NTA portal for registration and examination notices, complete the tests applicable to your programme, and follow NIFT's instructions for further selection and seat allocation. A telephone enquiry to a campus can clarify local facilities; admission itself follows the notified selection process.
For dates, the application process and examination guidance, read our NIFT 2027 registration and entrance exam guide.

How to Choose a NIFT Campus
- Choose the programme first. Write down two or three types of work you would enjoy, then compare the corresponding course curriculum and student projects.
- Filter the campus list. Remove campuses that do not offer that programme in the current seat matrix. For example, an M.F.Tech. applicant should check Chennai and New Delhi in the 2027 list.
- Compare the total budget. Add hostel or rent, meals, materials and travel to the published academic fees. Ask which deposits are refundable and when payments fall due.
- Ask about daily facilities. Check relevant studios, workshops, equipment access, library hours, accommodation, accessibility and the commute to campus.
- Build your preference order. Balance course interest, practical costs and location before locking choices. Review the latest official seat matrix and counselling notice at that stage.
Students from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh can begin with the Hyderabad campus for a location and travel comparison, then compare all campuses offering their preferred specialisation. Proximity can help with budgeting, while the programme should remain central to the decision.
Questions to ask the campus office
Ask whether your preferred programme has a current intake, whether hostel places are available, what the complete first-year hostel and mess bill includes, which equipment students must purchase and where the latest fee notice is published. Keep the written response or notice with your admission records.
Financial Assistance for Eligible Students
NIFT's SARTHAK scheme provides tuition-related financial assistance to eligible UG and PG students under prescribed family-income and other criteria. Applications are invited through campuses. Read the current policy, collect the requested income documents and submit within the campus deadline. An award depends on the scheme rules and should not be assumed while estimating the amount due at admission.
Check the official NIFT financial assistance page for the current policy and application timelines.
