Nearly 500 students from the city are likely to lose an opportunity to try their luck at the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) with its entrance exam scheduled on February 8 clashing with the Integrated Masters course entrance examination of the Hyderabad Central University (HCU).
Parents and students have requested the NIFT to either postpone the exam or to advance it so that students can appear for both the examinations. The five-year integrated course of HCU is taken by the Intermediate students, who also appear for NIFT entrance exam. Some parents have already represented to the Director General of NIFT to consider their request.
