National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) Courses & Fee Structure

For students entering NIFT Gandhinagar in 2027, the official prospectus lists the same regular fee schedule across the institute’s semester columns: the first-semester academic bill is ₹1,69,800, and the second-semester bill is ₹1,50,000. Together, the first-year academic charges are ₹3,19,800. Add ₹21,900 in one-time security and registration payments at entry, and the table’s first-year amount becomes ₹3,41,700. The prospectus separately places Gandhinagar in the higher-fee NRI campus group, where the 2027-28 annual academic total is ₹9,98,000 before one-time payments.

What the Gandhinagar fee schedule covers

NIFT Gandhinagar lists B.Des in Accessory Design, Fashion Communication, Fashion Design and Textile Design; B.F.Tech in Apparel Production; M.Des; and M.F.M. The prospectus presents a common regular fee table for NIFT programmes rather than separate tuition rates for these Gandhinagar specialisations. The figures below are therefore the published institute schedule applied to the 2027 admission edition, not a course-by-course fee quotation or a campus-created estimate.

The fee table is semester-wise for the Non-NRI category and covers 2027-28 through 2030-31. Students entering a four-year undergraduate course use all eight semester columns. The prospectus says students in two-year master’s programmes pay for two academic years only; it also specifies when the alumni association membership fee is charged for a regular postgraduate candidate. NIFT reserves the right to revise fees for any academic year, so later-year amounts are scheduled figures, not a guarantee that NIFT will leave them unchanged.

Regular fee components and first-year amount

For 2027-28, the first semester lists ₹1,50,000 tuition, ₹10,000 library fee, ₹4,900 mediclaim and student-development fee, and ₹4,900 examination fee. These components total ₹1,69,800. The second semester lists ₹1,50,000 tuition; the annual library, mediclaim/student-development and examination charges are shown as zero in that semester because the prospectus assesses them once per year. Thus, first-year academic charges are ₹1,69,800 + ₹1,50,000 = ₹3,19,800.

The table separately lists two first-entry payments: a refundable security deposit of ₹12,600 and a non-refundable registration fee of ₹9,300, totalling ₹21,900. Adding these to the two semester bills gives ₹3,41,700 for the first year. The security deposit is not tuition; its refund conditions should be checked in NIFT’s current rules. The NIFTEE application fee is also separate and is paid to apply, before any seat allocation.

From the second year onward, the schedule’s tuition and annual service charges rise by the listed cycle. The two semester totals are ₹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. For the regular undergraduate eight-semester schedule, the prospectus adds a ₹6,200 one-time alumni association membership fee in Semester 7. Summing the published semester grand totals gives ₹14,09,400 across four years, including the first-entry payments and that alumni fee. This arithmetic follows the current table; NIFT may revise future-year fees.

Four-year total	₹13,81,300	₹28,100 across entry and alumni charges	₹14,09,400

Two-year master’s programmes

The campus lists M.Des and M.F.M. For a regular postgraduate student entering in 2027, the first year follows the same two first-year semester bills and entry payments: ₹3,41,700 including the ₹21,900 security deposit and registration fee. The prospectus says the two-year master’s fee is payable only for 2027-28 and 2028-29, and places the ₹6,200 alumni membership fee in the third semester for a regular PG candidate. Applying those published figures gives ₹6,84,600 over two years: ₹6,56,500 in academic semester totals, ₹21,900 in entry payments and ₹6,200 in the third-semester membership fee. This calculation is for the regular category; it should not be transferred to NRI applicants or later admission editions without checking the relevant table.

NRI schedule for Gandhinagar

The prospectus groups Gandhinagar with Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai for NRI undergraduate and postgraduate fees. For 2027-28, the NRI table lists ₹9,07,000 tuition, ₹52,500 library, ₹33,600 mediclaim/student development and ₹4,900 examination fee per year. The annual academic total is ₹9,98,000. At entry, it lists the same ₹12,600 refundable security deposit and ₹9,300 registration fee as one-time payments, bringing the 2027-28 first-year table total to ₹10,19,900. The table then lists annual totals of ₹10,47,500 for 2028-29, ₹11,00,400 for 2029-30 and ₹11,55,500 for 2030-31, before its separate one-time alumni fee.

NIFT’s NRI table also lists five supernumerary NRI seats per academic programme at Gandhinagar. That is an admission seat category, not a fee discount, and it does not mean a particular programme will have five available seats in every round. Confirm the applicant’s category and route with the prospectus before using the NRI fee schedule; regular domestic category fees and NRI fees are separate tables.

Payments and costs not included in the table

The prospectus identifies the security deposit as refundable, registration and tuition as non-refundable, and library and mediclaim/student-development fees as non-refundable. It does not make the displayed semester totals a complete estimate of the cost of attending in Gandhinagar. Hostel accommodation, mess, travel, personal supplies and project materials are not priced in these academic tables. The campus publishes separate student-affairs notices for mess charges; those notices have their own period and should not be folded into the 2027-28 tuition total without a matching official schedule.

Before paying, check the current NIFT admission notice for the exact allocation deadline, payment stages and refund rules. Confirm whether your offer is regular or NRI, whether the programme is a four-year B.Des/B.F.Tech or two-year M.Des/M.F.M, and which semester’s annual charges are due. Use the NIFT prospectus and campus instructions for the fee amount; aggregator “first-year fees” labels can combine different bases, such as academic charges alone or academic charges plus one-time payments.

The figures on this page describe the 2027-28 entry schedule and later-year amounts printed in the 2027 prospectus. They are not a fee guarantee for 2028 admissions. Recheck the next prospectus before budgeting for a later cohort, and ask NIFT for a written account statement if a demand notice differs from the published table.
