Admission to the offered courses is based on merit in the NIFT Entrance Exam (except for certificate programmes). NIFT is a national-level design entrance exam conducted by the National Institute of Fashion Technology to shortlist candidates for the NIFT participating institutes. The written exams comprise the Creative Ability Test (CAT) and the General Ability Test (GAT). BDes and MDes candidates need to appear in both CAT and GAT. However, BFTech, MFTech, and MFM candidates only need to take the GAT. The GAT will be conducted in a computer-based mode, whereas CAT will be offline-based. The scores of the written exams will be used to shortlist candidates for a Situation Test/ Personal Interview. The final result of NIFT will be prepared by giving weightage to the written exams and the Situation Test/ Personal Interview.

To apply for scholarships to study in a Canadian university as a graduate student:

Begin by researching various scholarship opportunities available for international students in Canada. Explore scholarships provided by the Canadian government, Canadian universities, private organizations, and international scholarship programs. Websites such as scholarshipscanada.com, scholarshipportal.com, and the official websites of Canadian universities can be valuable resources for finding scholarship options.

Gather all the necessary documents for the scholarship application process. These may include academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, resume or CV, proof of language proficiency (such as IELTS or TOEFL scores), and any other documents specified by the scholarship provider.

Before applying for scholarships, you generally need to apply for admission to Canadian universities. Research the admission requirements, application procedures, and deadlines for the universities and programs you are interested in. Once you receive an offer of admission, you can proceed with scholarship applications.

Follow the application instructions provided by the scholarship provider. Some scholarships may require you to submit applications directly to the university, while others may have a separate application process. Pay attention to the application deadlines and submit all the required documents accurately and on time.

If you have any questions or need assistance with scholarship applications, reach out to the scholarship office or the international student services department at the Canadian universities you are applying to. They can provide guidance and support throughout the application process.
