Hello,

If I did not select the NRI category while filling the NIFT application form, it is usually difficult to change the category later after the application form has been submitted. However, during the application correction window, NIFT sometimes allows candidates to edit certain details. I should log in to the candidate portal and check if the category field can be edited during the correction period.

Here are some helpful Careers360 resources for students:
