National Institute of Fashion Technology isn't for everyone.
Placements: A lot of MNCs come to the college every year, and many students get placed, but it's a hard competition. The highest package is 16 LPA to 18 LPA, while the average is 7 LPA to 8 LPA. Companies like Aditya Birla, L&T, etc., hire students. Internships depend on your skills. I have seen people working as interns in H&M as well as unemployed.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good, with stone walls and AC labs. There are two divisions of the college, new and old. The new one has better classrooms, while the old one needs a bit of refurbishing. The canteen and water supply aren't great, and there's only a girls' hostel, no boys' hostel available.
Faculty: Teachers here are highly qualified and smart, and they have worked in the industry for many years. Some departments, like Fashion Design, are strict, as whatever you study at NIFT is useful if you know how to harness it. The jury depends on how much time you’ve put in and how early you start.
Other: I choose this course out of passion, and I am happy with it. I feel that if the college improves its attendance policy, it would be heaven. Fests and communities here at NIFT are top-tier.

Proud of my decision of choosing to come here.
Placements: Usually, all the students get placed. Either through college placements, faculty's help, or through connections/college exposure. The highest package is 60k p/m and the lowest package is 20k p/m. Fashion designer, analyst, stylist, and forecaster are the roles offered.
Infrastructure: Provides Wi-Fi, labs, smart classrooms, 3D printers, the highest technologies, library, hostels for girls only, play areas, etc. The faculty members also stay here till 7 p.m., so it’s usually good for asking doubts and seeking help. Quality and cleanliness are really good here.
Faculty: Extremely experienced teachers with great helpful connections that help in the future a lot. Exams are actually easy, but the competition makes it hard since comparatively marking works here. Pressure is what makes the exam difficult. Passing mark is usually above 40% on all subjects.
Other: Exposure and learning from the most experienced. More internship opportunities. Very happening college life, a good amount of events.

On Cutoffs
Q:   Is the NIFT cut-off higher for top institutes such as NIFT Delhi?
A: 
NIFT Delhi is frequently ranked among the top design colleges in the country. So, the admission cut-off for the institute is pretty high, especially when compared to the lower ranked colleges. This is because being a higher ranked college, NIFT Delhi receives a higher number of applicants. Another factor is more number of higher ranked candidates want to get admission in the institute, which also pushes up the cut-off. On the other hand, lower ranked colleges are not a priority for the top ranked candidates; meaning a higher number of lower ranked candidates applies to these institutes. This keeps the cut-off low in these institutes.
Q:   What is the cutoff for Diploma in Fashion Product Design and Technology (FPDT) at NIFT Delhi?
A: 
The cutoff for the NIFT entrance exam is based on various factors like the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, seat availability, and past-year cutoff trends. It is best to check the official website of NIFT or contact their admission office for the most up-to-date and accurate information about the NIFT Delhi cut-offs in 2023 about the diploma programs, as they're unavailable on the online websites.
