NIFT Delhi courses for the 2027 intake

The 2027-28 choice is a programme-campus decision. NIFT’s prospectus sets a national course and seat matrix, while the New Delhi campus page is the source for the campus catalogue. The New Delhi page currently lists B.Des. specialisations in Accessory Design, Fashion Communication, Fashion Design, Knitwear Design, Leather Design and Textile Design; it also lists B.F.Tech. Apparel Production, M.Des., M.F.M. and M.F.Tech. The New Delhi column in the 2027 regular seat matrix lists 38 seats each for Accessory Design, Fashion Communication, Fashion Design, Knitwear Design, Leather Design and Textile Design, plus 38 for Apparel Production, 38 for M.Des., 38 for M.F.M. and 34 for M.F.Tech. The Fashion Interior row shows seats at Nava Raipur and Varanasi, not New Delhi. Check the NIFT Admission Prospectus 2027 before filling choices: NIFT says it may increase or decrease course seats. A course listed nationally is not automatically offered at every campus.

NIFT’s 2027-28 admission page links the current prospectus, information bulletin and admission guidelines. It lists undergraduate design and technology, postgraduate design, fashion management and fashion technology programmes. Use the official seat matrix and course-specific eligibility table to confirm whether Delhi offers your intended programme, its seat category, and any special route such as lateral entry. Do not use an older campus list or a third-party course directory to override the current matrix. The campus catalogue is a practical shortlist; the 2027 prospectus controls the admission-year offer.

Regular and non-NRI fees: 2027-28 schedule

The current prospectus publishes a semester-wise fee table for regular, artisan and ward-of-artisan students. For a standard regular non-NRI entrant, semester 1 of 2027-28 is ₹1,69,800: ₹1,50,000 non-refundable tuition, ₹10,000 annual non-refundable library fee, ₹4,900 annual mediclaim and student-development fee, and ₹4,900 annual examination fee. Semester 2 is ₹1,50,000, consisting of tuition. The first-year academic subtotal is therefore ₹3,19,800. This is a direct sum of the two semester totals shown in the official table; it excludes the one-time items below.

Regular non-NRI charge	2027-28 semester 1	2027-28 semester 2
Tuition, non-refundable	₹1,50,000	₹1,50,000
Library, annual, non-refundable	₹10,000	—
Mediclaim and student development, annual, non-refundable	₹4,900	—
Examination fee, annual	₹4,900	—
Semester total	₹1,69,800	₹1,50,000

NIFT separately lists a one-time ₹12,600 refundable security deposit and ₹9,300 registration fee in semester 1. Adding those to the first-year academic subtotal gives ₹3,41,700 in first-year scheduled payments, including the refundable deposit. The refundable component is not a tuition discount: check the institute’s current refund conditions and retain the payment receipt. The table lists an alumni association fee of ₹6,200 in the seventh semester for regular undergraduate candidates. NIFT’s footnote says regular postgraduate candidates pay that membership fee in semester 3. Do not add that amount to every semester or confuse it with annual tuition.

The same prospectus lays out later semesters for a four-year regular programme: ₹1,78,700 and ₹1,58,000 in 2028-29; ₹1,87,800 and ₹1,66,000 in 2029-30; and ₹1,97,000 and ₹1,74,000 in 2030-31. With the listed one-time payments and the UG alumni fee, the published four-year schedule totals ₹14,09,400, including the refundable deposit. This is a calculation from the prospectus rows, not a guarantee that no revision will occur. NIFT expressly reserves the right to revise fees for any academic year. The amount payable can also depend on admission category and programme duration. Check the latest circular before paying each semester.

NRI fee schedule and costs outside the table

For NRI students, the 2027-28 prospectus names New Delhi among the campuses using its higher annual schedule. The annual fee is ₹9,98,000 for two semesters: ₹9,07,000 non-refundable tuition, ₹52,500 annual library fee, ₹33,600 annual mediclaim and student-development fee, and ₹4,900 examination fee. The one-time security deposit is ₹12,600, refundable under the institute’s conditions, and the one-time registration fee is ₹9,300. The first-year scheduled amount is ₹10,19,900 including that deposit. The prospectus says NRI one-time payments are kept at par with non-NRI candidates. It also lists five supernumerary NRI seats per academic programme at New Delhi, subject to the admission rules and availability; this is not a promise of admission.

NIFT Delhi fee category	Annual academic fee	One-time payments	First-year scheduled amount
Regular non-NRI, first year	₹3,19,800	₹21,900	₹3,41,700
NRI, 2027-28	₹9,98,000	₹21,900	₹10,19,900

For both categories, the first-year scheduled amount includes the refundable security deposit. The regular row is the academic subtotal for semesters 1 and 2; the NRI row is the annual fee for two semesters. They use different fee bases and should not be read as like-for-like annual tuition alone. NIFT’s 2027-28 admissions cycle covers a broad set of programmes, so check the prospectus category and exact programme before relying on either row.

The published academic fee table does not establish a New Delhi hostel or mess charge, travel cost, equipment or materials budget, or any optional service charge. These can materially affect the cost of attendance. Ask the campus for current accommodation availability and charges before accepting a seat; do not treat an older hostel figure as a current quote. The official financial aid and SARTHAK information is a separate application process with its own eligibility and review. Do not subtract aid from the fee total unless NIFT confirms an award for the student and year.

What applicants should verify before paying

Open the current 2027 prospectus and confirm New Delhi offers the selected programme in the seat matrix. The institute may change programme or seat availability.
Confirm whether the admission is regular non-NRI, NRI, artisan/ward-of-artisan, or another category. The fee schedule depends on category; a fee from another campus or route may not apply.
Budget semester by semester. For a regular non-NRI entrant, the published first-year academic subtotal is ₹3,19,800, with ₹21,900 in one-time items. Track the ₹12,600 refundable deposit separately from non-refundable charges.
Before each payment, check for a newer circular, the payment deadline and the refund terms. NIFT reserves the right to revise annual fees.
Ask New Delhi campus for hostel, mess and other charges, and apply separately for financial aid if eligible. Neither accommodation nor assistance is guaranteed by the academic fee table.

The controlling documents are the 2027 prospectus and the current NIFT fee notice. NIFT’s admissions page provides the current admission-year documents; the Delhi campus page helps confirm local programme information. Save the applicable prospectus, fee circular, allotment notice and payment receipts together. If the fee schedule changes after publication of this guide, use the newer official notice for the amount due and retain the dated values above only as the 2027-28 prospectus schedule.
