The college has good infrastructure and is very spacious. Placements are good.

Placements: Honesty, I don't know much about it. I just entered my 2nd year of college, but according to my seniors, the placements have been good in the past. The average package offered is 12 lacs; the lowest is something around 6-7 lacs per year; the highest is 15-18 lacs per year.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided here are good; Wi-Fi works great here, but honestly, if I talk about the phone network, that's poor as the college lies on the outskirts of Bhopal. Otherwise, everything else is great. The hostel is good, rooms are a bit small, mess and canteen food is nice.

Faculty: The faculty here is really helpful and knowledgeable; the curriculum here is excellent and yes, this course really prepares us for the industry. You might find the faculty here a little strict but yes, this is how they prepare you for the industry; hence, they give you a reality check through innumerable redos of the assignments.

B.Des in Fashion Communication - Batch of 2026

3.4

3.0Placements3.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life3.0Value for Money

I am part of the first batch of FC at NIFT Bhopal.

Placements: There are a total of 40 students in my department right now. We are the first batch to graduate. The average package offered in FC is 4 lakhs, and the highest is up to 12 lakhs. Companies like Shopper's Stop, Marks & Spencer, NDTV, Vogue, Reliance, etc., are hiring. It's still a new department here, so we have no seniors and thus no records on that yet. Visual merchandising, graphic design, UI UX design, fashion forecasting, and styling, etc., are part of our curriculum.

Infrastructure: Honestly, the infrastructure is not that good. Though we have the largest land among all the NIFTs, they don't know how to utilize it. There is no design or plan on how to build a college for NIFT. Also, there are no elevators and Wi-Fi services in college. The campus is very far from the city, and no cab service app works there.

Faculty: The faculty members for FC in NIFT Bhopal are not specialized, and only a few have knowledge. Many are not helpful at all. Personally, I recommend that if you want to choose NIFT Bhopal, opt for AD and TD. NIFT Bhopal has the best TD, and it makes us industry-ready for sure. We get really great assignments and field visits, industry exposure, and expert lectures. You have to be creative and exclusive with your given assignments if you really want to score well; otherwise, you will always get a redo.

Other: I chose this course because I was interested in logo designing, photography, and styling. I really wish they had more faculty members for FC and that too specialized because this is actually very unfair to us. NIFT is actually a very happening place where you get to explore, learn, and experiment.

My Life at National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bhopal.

Placements: About 60% of students were placed in prestigious companies last year. Although you have to work really hard to get a placement, the package you can get ranges from 15 LPA to 50 LPA. It depends on your portfolio and the kind of work you have done. You have to do your best in Juree.

Infrastructure: The college's infrastructure needs some work. They have huge grounds and good classrooms, but there are no ACs in the classrooms. The hostel food is not good and needs to be more hygienic. Although you will not get sick after eating it, improvements are needed.

Faculty: The faculty is the best part of this college. All the teachers and mentors are friendly and helpful. They will always guide you in what you're doing and teach you the best. If you need any suggestions, you can openly ask them, and they will guide you.

4.0Placements3.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

The college is best for fashion in India as it comes under top 10 institutes in the world .

Placements: Lifestyle, reliance are two of the top recruiting companies. Average package for students in the previous batch was 4 Lacs per annum. Maximum students from the previous batch were offered good internships with top companies. One of the best placement from previous batch was in Lifestyle Dubai.

Infrastructure: Since it's a new campus, amenities are not properly accessible. The campus is still under development, so auditorium is not completed, but classrooms have functional equipments. The quality and quantity of food is good. Also, they have bakery products available.

Faculty: The teachers are usually NIFT alumni and few professors with tremendous experience in the same field. The course curriculum is same for the entire programme across all the locations of NIFT in India. The course is not difficult to understand as it is more relevant to daily life.

Good learning and great facilities for the fields available. Amazing faculty members.

Placements: 1. Many were placed. The placement gives lots of opportunities to the students, as many of the students already get PPO (Preplacement offers). 2. Some of the companies that participated in placement were Shantanu and Nikhil, Anju Modi, Rangoli furnishings, Shades of India, Vardhaman, Gulmoharlane, Studio Hauz etc. 3. The placement packages were quite disappointing to us, as many students then went for off-campus (Interviews) to look for job. 4. There were two internships provided, in which faculty members help and even seniors to get an internship to new students (Summer internship and Graduation Project). 5. The roles offered in Textile Design are - Textile Designer, CAD Designer, Fashion Designer, Home Decorator, Merchandiser, Design Coordinator, Print Designer, Graphic Designer etc.

Infrastructure: 1. The main campus is still under construction, So the students get to have their college life experience with the temporary campus, that is Bhoj University, Kolar Road, Bhopal 2. The Hostels were good and mess food was fine too. 3. Most of the students rent a flat or room and stay in the group after the first year.

Faculty: 1. The teachers were the best, they were helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality was also very nice if you are attentive in your classes about whatever they are teaching. 2. Yes, the curriculum is very close to being relevant to the subjects and activities to make the students industry ready.

Other: 1. As I was a design enthusiast, I always wanted a good college to get more skilled, the faculty members were nice and subjects were fine for me to have enough knowledge to get into job life, which profession to lead. 2. I wish with textiles, most of the subjects were very good and important for me to learn. If Photography will be included as a subject in Textile design, that is something I would wish for. 3. Events and Fest were very encouraging and each & everyone can participate and showcase their talents.
