NIFT has scheduled the final opportunity for such candidates. The assessment will begin at 10:30 am at the same campuses as previously notified.

“For the candidates who missed the assessment, a last chance for Physical Assessment is extended to be held on 1st July, 2025 at 10.30 in the Campus indicated vide the above-referred notification,” the official notice said.

The notice includes details such as the roll number, programme name, and the designated NIFT campus for each PwD candidate.
