Nift is amazing I will teach not only in studies but also the quality of life

Placements: 90%students were placed. 9lakhs per annum is minimum highest can vary. Puma, Adidas and all were the top companies. 80% students get internship. This college will make you industry ready that will never let you get in trouble in the Industry. It just that people have to do little hard work here other than that everything is fine

Infrastructure: There are labs and costly machine wifi all over campus library. Mess and hostel is really good. Hostel room wifi is there in hostel. All the facilities are good you will get various things here and this campus will promote all the cultural activities. It feels amazing.

Faculty: Teacher are really helpful. They help in every thing. Curriculum made us ready for industry. It depends on the level of work you do. We often get redos that will make you study more but it will also improve your quality of work . It will make you industry ready

My experience in NIFT has opened my mind.

Placements: So people who choose the knitwear course in NIFT depend on the rank they've scored and their category, as there is a reserved category besides general. A lot of top recruiting companies come since it's India's top fashion college, like Puma, Nike, Adidas, and more. Almost 85% of students get recruited. The starting roles are mostly designers, as far as I've heard from Nift students I know.

Infrastructure: The college isn't very big; our auditorium is a little smaller compared to other branches, but our college is one of the top three NIFTs that have good placements, equipment, and faculty, which is a great advantage. I don't know much about the hostel, but as far as I've heard, the rooms are small, and you have to share with a roommate that they assign to you. There's a curfew at 9:30, and after the first year, you need to vacate.

Faculty: In my opinion, the faculty is good, and I wish more practical visuals were shown for a better understanding of everything, but it's okay. The courses are very relevant, and we have specializations in sportswear and lingerie wear. Semester exams aren't that difficult, but it's always better to do your work ahead of time, and the pass percentage is 50%.

Other: Nothing more to add, but I liked fashion because I enjoy styling myself in new outfits, which is why I chose NIFT. The only thing I would like to improve is if the faculty were a bit more friendly and understanding sometimes and not partial to their favorites. We have one fest a year called Spectrum, which is fun, and scholarships are provided, as mentioned on the NIFT page itself. Extracurricular activities are also available, and we have clubs where we can choose our favorite subjects.

Review of National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bangalore.

Placements: Average companies visit our college to recruit students. The highest salary package offered is 6.5 LPA. Students who score an 8.5 CGPA are eligible for placements.

Infrastructure: Our college provides average facilities. The Wi-Fi facility is not good. Classrooms are old. They provide sports and games facilities. A playground is not available in our college. The college should improve.

Faculty: The jury system in college may not be the best idea as it could negatively impact students with low self-esteem. Jury members claim that their criticisms are for our benefit and future success. Their harsh words can be hurtful and sometimes inappropriate. Therefore, it's important to consider alternative methods of evaluation that do not rely solely on a jury system.

NIFT has a lot of potentials to be the best, but it still requires improvement.

Placements: Placements weren't great in 2016. Very few students from our class got a job through campus placements, and even I was one of those because of the specialised field I have pursued. Companies that visited our college weren't great, and NIFT is well known for providing good jobs. The college-level is degrading, and they are unable to invite good companies for placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was great though it was a very small campus but loved the building. I wish there were ground to play different sports. Computer labs and other classrooms were also good enough though seats were horrible as a lot of students fell and got injured. Wi-Fi was available, but the major issues were the horrible network in rooms, and we had to sit in the corridor late nights to finish our work.

Faculty: Faculty members were amazing, friendly and helpful. Sometimes there was a lot of pressure on the students. There are some subjects which were highly unnecessary which are not even used in the industry. Now I am studying in the US. Teaching methods can be changed in a more casual way to keep students more relaxed and not pressure them so much. They should include more internships to get more exposure and college should have collaborations with brands to work on real-life projects.

Other: The college fest was fun as I have always participated in many events, but there was a lot of internal politics. Campus crowd is also degrading with time. The reputation of the college isn't good anymore. The location of the college was not at all safe.
