The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) will hold the NIFT entrance exam 2023 in an online remote proctored mode on February 6, according to the most recent notification 4.

NIFT 2023 will be held under strict invigilation, which will include ID verification, camera surveillance of the test-taker, and other measures.

To safeguard the safety of all test takers for the NIFT exam 2023, the administration decided to conduct the exam in an online remote manner. 

The CAT and GAT written tests are required for admission to B.Des and M.Des programs. You'll be selected for a Situation Test (B.Des) and GD/PI based on your CAT and GAT scores (M.Des).

When someone is monitoring/invigilating you through the digital system, it is known as Proctoring.
