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.

Top roles offered are textile design, fashion design, accessory design, digital work, etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi doesn't work most of the time. The infrastructure for the course is good. The library has a lot of useful research books and fashion magazines. There are many computer labs. The hostel is congested though. The room is supposed to be for 2 students but has 3 students in it.

Faculty: All our teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable with very good teaching qualities. The Jury is the main event that helps prepare us for the upcoming industry. Semester exams are stressful but with proper time management, all of you can score your best.

Other: I chose this course because I am interested in designing, printing, and making new doodle designs. I get to learn everything from scratch about making different types of textiles. This course excites me. There are scholarships and extracurricular activities available.

B.Des. in Fashion Communication - Batch of 2025

Our college needs genuine Improvement.

Placements: Almost 80% of the placements are provided in this course. The highest salary package offered was 6 LPA and the lowest salary package offered was 3 LPA. Companies like Infosys, Nalli, H&M, Nalli, etc., recruit students from NIFT Bengaluru. Companies look for skills that are taught in photography, stylish, and a visual merchandising during the course.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi hardly works, and when it does, the connectivity is so less. The classrooms are so less technically equipped. The tables always hurt students, they and have caused a lot of bruises and bleeding. The hostel facility does not provide what it promises, and the rooms require renovation. Mess food is not up to the mark.

Faculty: Some teachers are worth the grind. They know how to carry the class and conduct lectures. While others do not understand how the course is about design and not art history. They teach what they want to and not what's relevant in the course. It is because of the attitude of some teachers that NIFT is not a college, it's a school. Semester exams are a lot of work but fun to do.

Other: I chose this course because of the less usage of papers and resources, and most of the things in our course are digital.
