The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) 2026 entrance exam admit cards are expected to be released shortly ahead of the 08 February 2026 exam date, with candidates advised to monitor the official portal for the hall ticket link and download instructions.
NIFT 2026 Admit Card Release & City Intimation Slip
The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the National Institute of Fashion Technology Entrance Examination (NIFTEE), has already issued the city intimation slip on 29 January 2026, confirming candidates’ allotted exam city and preliminary details. However, this slip does not serve as the actual hall ticket. The official NIFT 2026 admit card required for entry into test centres will be published on the NTA NIFT admit card portal in the days leading up to the examination.

Once released, candidates must:
- Visit the NTA NIFT hall ticket website at exams.nta.ac.in/niftee.

- Download and print the admit card PDF for exam day.
The admit card will detail the candidate’s exam centre, date, shift timing, and reporting instructions. Carrying a printed copy with a valid photo ID is mandatory for entry; digital screenshots will not be accepted.
