They were offered positions as designers and junior designers. There package vary from 4 lpa to 9 lpa and due to Corona there was no placement 2020 so now students can apply for 2020 and 2021.

Faculty: The teachers are quite helpful and always behind us but there are some faculty members who are not really knowledgeable we have mentors who access us and help us out to get going in the career, we have jury for every semester and it depends on what we did the whole semester which not something like what we do in exams we cant just work the previous night and get things done here. This course make us industrial ready because if how it is contained and designed .
Other: If you are some one who love somethings different from what regular people do it is for you, creativity is always the key, I think the fees is quite a bit lot for a lot of people and the events, fests and are always over the top.

Q:   How students check the National Institute of Fashion Technology Bhubaneswar cutoff marks?
A: 

Hello Nishar Ahmed, National Institute of fashion Technology at Bhubaneswar was established in the year 2010. N I f t is headquarter in New Delhi and it has 18 campuses including the one at Bhubaneswar across India. It conducts plenty of courses ranging from certificate to undergraduate to post graduate and even PhD. It contacts only one examination for admission to any of its 18 campuses. In all these campuses the admission process is centralised. As per Government of India's policy reservations are provided to various categories of students including horizontal reservations. In few of these centres some of the seats are reserved for the domiciles of that state and reservation amongst these seats will be as per the policies of that state. As one can expect, this is a mind boggling matrix with varieties of vacancies in different categories and consequently different cutoffs. It is not feasible to give all the details in this as it runs into a number of pages. However any interested student can find the details after visiting the official website of NIFT. Over and above this, data of past years is available in downloadable format on the official website of NIFT.

Even during the admission process, as it undergoes various rounds, NIFT updates this on its website and students are expected to follow this and not depend on any other type of communication.
