Hello,

No, you are not required to take admission in any university in order to get admission in NIFT. However, you are required to appear for the entrance exam conducted by NIFT to take admission in the various courses offered by the institute. The minimum eligibility criteria for getting admission in NIFT is that students must have passed 10+2 with any recognized board and they should be of minimum 23 years of age. For SC/ST candidates, there is a relaxation of 5 years.

Hope this helps! All the best!
