Along with these, candidates should carry two recent passport-size photographs matching the one uploaded in their application form for attendance and verification purposes.
It is advised to verify all details printed on these documents, including the exam centre address and reporting time, before leaving for the venue.
Items to Carry on NIFT Exam Day
While inside the exam hall, candidates are allowed to have only the mandatory documents listed above. Additionally, carrying essential stationery may be required depending on the test format. Candidates should reach the exam centre at least 60 minutes before the scheduled start time to complete security and biometric formalities smoothly.

Smoking, chewing gutka and spitting inside the examination room are also strictly forbidden and may lead to disqualification. Candidates with medical conditions like diabetes may be permitted to carry transparent water bottles and necessary food like sugar tablets or fruits, but packed snacks remain disallowed.
Official Rules and Conduct Guidelines
On exam day, all candidates must comply with instructions given by the invigilators and centre officials. Any attempt to breach rules such as changing allotted seats or engaging in unfair means, can result in disqualification.
