Review of National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bhubaneswar.

Placements: The placement of this campus is awesome. Different textile and apparel companies come for the placement. A minimum package of 5 lacs is expected. There are different courses to choose from. I am a Bachelor of Fashion Technology student. The other one is a bachelor of design.

Infrastructure: There are labs that you won't get on different campuses. The infrastructure is great. All rooms have AC. There is a huge library. Faculty members are very friendly. They have a fun way to teach. Subjects provided are up to date, which is required for an industry.

Faculty: Exams are normally practical based or jury ( basically viva). You are marked according to your work. Theoretical subjects are fewer. The semester exams are divided into three parts, assignment 1 of 30 marks, assignment 2 of 30 marks, and then the end term is jury.

Other: I have chosen B.Tech as my bachelor's degree as it is a blend of technology and design. We do coding. We stitch garments. There are two major festivals of life. Spectrum, the annual fest and converge inter-gift competition.

Top recruiting companies include Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail, Puma, Shahi Exports, Myntra, Arvind, Landmark Group, Laguna Clothing, Nykaa Fashion, Epic Group, etc. The various roles offered are product management, category management, merchandising, marketing, industrial engineering, operations, fashion consultancy, etc. The lowest salary package is 3 LPA, and the highest is 15 LPA. Everyone in this course has to do a compulsory internship for a period of 6 months, i.e., a 2-month apparel internship in the 6th semester and a 4-month graduation project in the 8th semester. Students can convert their internships to PPOs.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is amazing, spacious, and has all the available resources. Each classroom is designed to accommodate a batch of 30 to 40 students. The resource centre (library) has all sorts of informative journals, books, and magazines on different courses like design, technology, management, etc. The labs are well equipped with all the latest machinery. Hostels are only provided for female students, but there are plenty of PGs and apartments nearby. Hostels have Wi-Fi, washing machines, good food, clean mess halls, and washrooms. Medical facilities can be availed of as per the needs of the student. Various sports, games, and the gym help students to stay fit.

Faculty: The curriculum is very relevant and caters to industrial needs. The course is diversified and lets you choose different inter-disciplinary majors and minors along with general electives of your choice while deepening specialisation in your own course. There are fewer written exams and more presentation-based exams. They are referred to as juries. The juries are different from regular written exams and allow you to gain confidence through your presentation skills. The passing percentage is 50%. Teachers are helpful and have good industrial exposure. They give research-based assignments and projects that can help you to understand things from a deep and wider perspective.

Other: Our annual event is Spectrum. There are other wonderful events. The surroundings are pretty good. It is the posh area of Bhubaneswar. Zomato, Swiggy, and other apps are very efficient and functional here.

Not a star in terms of faculty, love the infrastructure of the classes, huge classes.

Placements: 80% of the people are placed and some of the top companies of accessory design are future group, landmark group, godrej, pepper fry, Omaliving. 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.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good according to me, the library is well facilitated and hostel is the capacity of 2 and is well maintained, we have common wash rooms and the hostel has a play ground and food is fine, we have 24 hrs medical facilities and a gym.

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.
