The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to release the NIFT City Intimation Slip for the Stage 2 Examination of NIFTEE 2027 on December 21, 2026. This slip is intended for shortlisted candidates applying to various undergraduate programmes offered by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFTs).

The primary purpose of the NIFT City Intimation Slip is to inform candidates about the examination city allocated to them in advance, allowing them to make necessary travel arrangements. This preliminary document will be available online at exams.nta.nic.in/niftee, preceding the release of the official NIFT Admit Card 2027.

Understanding the NIFT City Intimation Slip

The NIFT City Intimation Slip serves as an advance notification for candidates regarding their exam city. According to the NTA, candidates can download this slip using their application number and date of birth. It will contain details such as the candidate’s personal information, photograph, application number, the programme applied for admission, and the name of the allocated exam city, along with the exam date.

The city intimation slip is not the admit card. While it provides the exam city, it will not include the name of the specific exam centre. The NTA has stated that requests for a change in the NIFT 2027 exam city will not be entertained once the allocation is made.

Key Differences: Intimation Slip vs. Admit Card

The NIFT City Intimation Slip and the NIFT Admit Card 2027 serve distinct purposes in the examination process. The intimation slip is released 10-15 days before the entrance exam to support travel planning, whereas the admit card is the mandatory document for entry into the examination hall.

The NIFT Admit Card 2027 is scheduled for release on January 04, 2027. It will contain complete details, including the candidate’s roll number, specific exam centre reporting time, exam timings, exam-day guidelines, and the precise exam centre address. Unlike the intimation slip, a printout of the admit card is required on exam day and may also be needed post-exam, stamped and signed at the centre, for future reference.
