Master of Fashion Management (MFM) - Batch of 2023

1Placements1Infrastructure1Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money

Review of MFM course from NIFT, Chennai.

Placements: Most of the students had to find internships and job opportunities themselves. The college does not actively work towards finding a good opportunity for growth and practical learning for the students. The highest average package offered was 6.5 LPA. Most of the companies come for merchandising roles.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the course is very basic. It is something you can learn on the job. This course does not provide us with as much knowledge. The use of facilities is very weak and the teams are not well versed and up-to-date. They charge extra to give you the degree, even after having paid a hefty fee.

Faculty: The curriculum is poor and not up-to-date. The teachers are not aware of the current affair in depth. It does not help to specialize in any specific feed. The faculty didn't let the students leave before the end of college time, even when they didn't have classes. The faculty was not as understanding and was biased.

Other: I chose this course thinking that it would help me get better at my field and advance in my career but sadly, it didn't. I wish that the course was more advanced and helped me specialize in a specific field with more practical knowledge and industry visits.

B.Des. in Fashion Design - Batch of 2026

3.8

3Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

A college that has a great amount of talent and creativity .

Placements: The percentage of students placed is between 60 and 70 percent. The highest package goes up to INR 600000 per year, and the lowest is around INR 200000 per year. The top recruiting companies are local business houses in Chennai itself. 80 percent of students got internships. The top roles offered in the course are associate designer, assistant designer, and fashion stylist.

Infrastructure: The campus as such is great. The design itself is super cool, and the facilities provided are great, like air conditioning in all labs. The Wi-Fi is decently good, and the library is packed with great books. The hostel is one of its best parts. It is amazing, super clean, and the food provided is not up to the mark, but it is still manageable, and it is really safe too; there is a nurse available 24/7. We also have a basketball court, a football field, a gym, and an indoor badminton court.

Faculty: The teachers are very well qualified and have great methods of teaching. I personally feel that some changes could be made to the curriculum, but the way of teaching definitely shapes the students in the right manner. Nift does not have examinations, but it has juries, which involves a lot of work to be done. The pass percentage is 50 percent.

Other: I chose this course because of my great interest in fashion. The best thing about this course is that it has amazing exposure. The things that could be better are the amount of workload on the students so that they can do better work. We have amazing festivals like Spectrum and many other celebrations throughout the year.

5Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

I'm satisfied with our college.

Placements: Around 3 seniors from our college got placement for 25 LPA recently. That means B.FTech specifically has good placements at NIFT. Some of the other department seniors got placed at good companies in Noida and Delhi. Internships in our college are also great, and they are according to your grades and skills. Try gaining extra skills too.

Infrastructure: I love our hostel, it's perfectly maintained and has great food with transportation as well. The staff are caring and the wardens are also very responsible. The campus is also very well maintained, and everything is very aesthetic. You can look at your college from a different angle every day.

Faculty: Teachers in our college have helped throughout the year. No matter what the question is, they're ready to answer a million times. Our course curriculum is not only relevant but also helps you gain a lot of skills. Our college not only teaches you the curriculum but also life skills, which makes you a better person overall.

Other: I chose this course as I have an equal interest in fashion and technology, and this field is a perfect match for the same. Recently we had an interdepartmental fest which was organised on a good scale. You will find a no-judgement crowd in our college, from teachers to helpers.

B.Des. in Accessory Design - Batch of 2018

3.4

4Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

The pros and cons of NIFT Chennai.

Placements: Placement is fairly good. Almost 90% in accessory design. It depends on the student's caliber and portfolio rather than grades. Some of the courses struggle in placements but a good portfolio really helps. Companies are not very high paying initially. Maximum average packages are around 4.5 to 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: The building's structure is really beautiful, campus is small and cosy. The new girls' hostel is nice. The old hostel within the campus is pretty bad. Labs are nicely equipped. Hostel food is nutritional but tasteless. North Indians might not like the food. Nonveg is scarce. Washrooms are not very nicely maintained.

Faculty: Teachers are biased, there is a north India, south India stigma and partiality. Teachers are moody and judgemental. Innovations and ideas are not encouraged in front of aesthetics. It can be disappointing at times bit the college experience is great.

Other: Campus and students are really great and you wouldn't ever feel out of place. The vibe and environment is super which makes up for judgemental faculty members.

Great infrastructure and facilities, okay faculty members, placements are also okay.

Placements: Students apply for placements towards the end of the final semester. They can register for placements in as many nift campuses as they want and the companies will vary with each campus. Your portfolio will decide what kind of company you get. One must be alert in placements or they could end up in what is basically a salesperson job. The average placement packages ranges from 3-4 Lacs pa. With regards to internship it is advisable to look for your own company to intern at according to the kind of experience you are looking for. However, if you are not able to find your own company to intern at the college will provide you with one. Some internships come with no stipend and the ones who are lucky enough to get one will get around 4000-10000 per month.

Infrastructure: The national institute of fashion technology in Chennai is equipped with great infrastructure. There is campus Wi-Fi available throughout, a big auditorium, around two food stalls in addition to the campus canteen. There is also an in campus stationery store and printing shop which is really convenient for assignments. There is a volleyball court and a tennis court. The classrooms are spacious although unbearable in the summer months as they do not have AC. The pattern making, GC and computer labs however are all equipped with AC. There is also a resource center with amazing books that one should make the best of. During exam time there are sometimes issues with getting extra lab hours as students of all semesters will be needing the lab. During my time I stayed in the old hostel which was in campus. Although there were the usual bathroom issues, the rooms were good enough ( 3 sharing). I'd recommend living in the hostel as you will have a lot of group projects and you would face difficulty if you choose to live outside. There is a new large hostel now outside campus for girls and the old hostel has been given to the boys. There is AC in the new hostels and shuttle services to take the students to and fro the campus.

Faculty: With regards to the faculty in the campus I am sad to say that I have a few positive things to say. Like all colleges there are great faculty members and really sad ones. I learnt a lot from all my faculty members in the first year but when I reached my parent department there were only three to four faculty members who I found very knowledgeable in the subject matter. There are great guest lecturers who come to visit though. Throughout our course we were taken for industry visits and craft and handloom fairs which really widened my knowledge. All in all I would say I learnt a lot in class however there was so many assignments that's there was no time for self study.

Other: There are events every now and then in the campus which students organize and participate. There is also nift spectrum and converge annually.
