Hi there!

Glad to know that you are interested in making a future in designing!
If you are pursuing 12th currently, it is absolutely the right time to make a goal for NIFT the coming year. Students from any board can appear in the exam if he/she has a minimum aggregate of 50% marks from any stream.

NIFT provides a total of 32 exam centres all over India. As you are from Bihar, you can elect your preferred exam centre to be Patna, Kolkata or Ranchi.

NIFT releases its application forms around October- November each year, and exam occurs in February-March. So make sure you do not miss the deadlines!

Hope this helps!
