Review of National Institute of Fashion Technology.

Placements: Since it is a new course that started in 2021, campus placements are not provided. First batch of students took part in a research dissertation project in their final year.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is satisfactory but the buildings need some renovation. Hostel rooms are good with double occupancy including two beds with no mattresses, tables, racks, and mirrored almirahs. There is an extra space above the almirahs for storing additional items.

Faculty: Faculty members in our college are knowledgeable, well-qualified, and experienced. They interact with every student. The course curriculum is helpful in multiple disciplines and is an ideal option for students interested in research-oriented careers in any field.

Other: I chose this course because it is a research-based course.

Good college, with decent future prospects.

Placements: We are the second batch here at NIFT Gandhinagar, in M.Des programme. This is a research based course. So, they teach you systems thinking, problem solving thinking and design thinking methods. 4 main specifications in M.Des are curation, social design, UI UX, and strategy management design.

Infrastructure: Facilities are available. It is a bit small campus, compared to other new campuses. Hostel facility is available only for girls of first year. Food is good here. Doctors are available. Sports facilities are available.

Faculty: Four main depending specialisations are curation, design for society, ui UX, and strategic manage design. This M.Des programme is research based, and not product centred. It makes the students industry ready. The work we do here is good. 3 assignments, and final jury are conducted.

Review of National Institute of Fashion Technology, Gandhinagar.

Placements: Our college provides average placements. Students have to work hard, to get placed.

Infrastructure: Our college provides Wi-Fi facility, a library, and a canteen. Mess facility is available in our college. Our college provides good facilities. The hostel facilities are good. They provide 2 beds, 2 wardrobes, 2 tables, and 2 chairs in each room. They provide washing machine service, with a common room, and an induction stove.

Faculty: Teachers are good. The course curriculum is good. They provide curatorial practices, and less visual communication.

Other: The course curriculum should be well-structured. Our faculty members should provide more practice. A few events and fests are held in our college.

Theory based curriculum; good for people who want to go for research.

Placements: We are the second batch of M.Des. So, right now none of us are placed. Top roles could be visual designer, ui ux design, art curator, social designer, ux researcher, social media expert, brand strategist, trends forecaster, social entrepreneur, systems thinker etc.

Infrastructure: The master of design is a fairly new course. Classrooms have ACs, projectors and Wi-Fi. The hostel is decent, however there are no AC or cooler in the hostel. There is also strict curfew timings. The college campus is very small, and there is no proper ground for sports. We only have one basketball, and badminton court.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified professionals, and do enough for the students. The course is research and theory based, and there are not a lot of practical works.

Other: A pretty expensive course, but the exposure and the brand name is decent.
