Who is eligible?
Eligibility differs by programme and admission route. The 2026 prospectus lists JEE Main, NEET and CUET routes for direct B.Tech (FTM) admission; the integrated B.Tech plus MBA direct route is tied to JEE Main eligibility; and BBA (Honours) admission is through CUET-UG. Category, Class 12 subject and minimum-mark requirements also apply. Read the current programme prospectus before paying.
Application and admission fees
The short extension announcement does not state a single common fee because application and course charges vary by programme and category. Use the fee shown in the official NIFTEM portal and prospectus. Do not transfer money to a personal account or an unofficial counsellor.
Who is affected?
This update affects eligible 2026 Class 12 graduates interested in food technology, food and agribusiness management, or data and business analytics at NIFTEM-K, including candidates using the institute’s direct-admission routes.
Required student action
Select the correct programme and admission route, complete the official application by July 25 and save the submitted form and payment proof. Then monitor the NIFTEM admissions page for the applicable merit or counselling list.

What happens if the deadline is missed?

On-spot counselling is conditional on vacancies and should not be treated as a guaranteed second chance.
