The National Institute of Design (NID) has officially opened the application correction window for NID DAT 2026 on its portal — admissions.nid.edu. All registered candidates can now review and modify specific details in their application forms. The correction facility will remain active until December 4, 2025.

The correction window offers applicants a final opportunity to rectify errors made during the registration process for the Design Aptitude Test (DAT), which is conducted for admission into the prestigious Bachelor of Design (B.Des) and Master of Design (M.Des) programmes offered across NID campuses.

What Candidates Can Edit

While NID allows corrections in several fields, certain key information remains non-editable. Typically editable details include:

• Personal details (except name and date of birth)

• Educational qualifications

• Selection of test centres (subject to availability)

• Category and sub-category details

• Uploaded documents (photo/signature)

• Programme preferences (if applicable)

Candidates must log in using their registered email ID and password to access the correction facility. It is advised to double-check all entries thoroughly, as no further chances for modification will be provided after the deadline.

Why the Correction Window Matters

Every year, many applications face rejection due to inaccurate information or improper document uploads. The correction window helps candidates:

• Avoid disqualification due to errors

• Ensure accurate personal and academic details

• Upload correct and clear photographs/signatures

• Confirm category certificates to avoid issues during counselling
