Hi

It's completely ok even you have Passed 12th in 2013 but what's your now age ?

Ideally,

Students pass  12th at the age of 17 , so considering that you passed 12th at the of 17 in 2013 , you will be 26 years old in 2022 and thus not eligible for NIFT.

This is because,

As per Upper age limit for NIFT  , to be eligible you must be less than 24 years as on 1st August of the year of appearing for the entrance examination

But if you belong to sc/st then you are eligible as there's 5 years of age relaxation for sc/st
