It is average compared to other government design colleges, but far superior than the private ones.

Placements: Usually, people get good placements with a decent salary of around Rs.30000 - Rs.50000 per month. You also get many internship opportunities, especially after 3rd year, which trains you pretty well for the industry, and helps you build a strong portfolio.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is average with good architecture but not maintained. The hostel is available only for girls. The campus is big enough and has enough capacity to host good events. The only place the college lacks is the hostel facilities and there is always a rush to the mess.

Faculty: Faculty members and curriculum are good in our college. They provide lots of learning opportunities and good resources. We don't have exams, but rather project submissions which give us a more hands-on learning experience. Assignments also require extensive research and working with teams. So it's a pretty professional environment.

It is a good college with good faculty members, but low exposure and infrastructure.

Placements: Placements here are fine. Some students still struggle. Most faculty members focus on assignments and not learning. But it is up to the persons' creativity to achieve the roles they want. We have good resource centers. You will need to go to Ahmedabad more or less for every event.

Infrastructure: It has a low infrastructure and a good library. The mess is poor. We have an average hostel and its capacity is low. There are air-conditioned classrooms. Wi-Fi is available all over the college. The labs are well maintained. There is good sports maintenance. Basketball, volleyball. etc., are also available. Average medical facilities are provided. Hostels and PGs are available nearby.

Faculty: Our college has good faculty members and a curriculum. You can explore more yourself. The minimum attendance required is 75%. There are strict attendance rules. The college is good. We have average college life.

Other: Scholarships are provided on the financial background of the student. We have minimum events, clubs, and auditions. photography team, modeling team, social club, dance team, and singing team.

It is a hub of talented and accepting students.

Placements: Placements for FC in our college are good at least better than many private colleges. The highest salary package offered is around 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies vary vividly because students either sit for on-campus placements or apply off-campus, and it all depends on the connections students make over the years, so keep students' senses open and do not leave any opportunities that come in their way.

Infrastructure: It provides everything related to our course available in this college. It is for printing that students have to go to the nearby shopping place but its no big deal because the place is not that far. In other departments since my friends are there in FD and TD and AD, they face issues at times finding materials which they do not find near the college in Gandhinagar and have to travel to Ahmedabad. Our library is diverse and there are a lot of books regarding our course available. The food served in the canteen is good. Students also do not have classrooms but studios which is good. It provides a basketball court, a good photography laboratory, a badminton court, a very basic gym, and a counselor.

Faculty: Teachers are very good and helpful if students want to learn. The exams are submissions that students do in form of prints and presentations and actual model making at times. The pass percentage is 50% including mid-term, end term, and jury. The curriculum at times might not good, if students want to succeed, then they have to learn from everything and everyone around them seek talented people and learn, and students will love NIFT.

Other: I opted for this course, because of the pandemic a lot of events are pending and everyone has to think of everyone's safety before organising an event. But as much as I have heard from students it is fun.

NIFT GANDHINAGAR- college of fashion, tech, culture and craft.

Placements: Average package in 2017 was 4-5 lac CTC. And the highest was 11 lac but not sure. Lots of startup and big brands like arvinds, lifestyle, tanishq, pcj and naukari. Com comes in the placement. But there is a lot of competition for the placements lot of preference is given to students of the placement centre.

Infrastructure: Hostel facility is for girls is available but only for 1 st year of college. 2nd year onwards you have to search for accommodation outside the campus. Sport and cultural activities takes place pretty often. NIFT GANDHINAGAR's janmashtam's and Garba fest is really happening.

Faculty: Fashion Communication was introduced at our time. We were the first batch of FC gandhinagar. The branch is still building up. But still did well with the premiere batch but a lot of facilities regarding the department were missing. College has a lovely library called RC I. e Resource centre.

It is a nice place to discover yourself.

Placements: Almost 90% of the students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered was 24 LPA, and the lowest package offered was 12 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Amrapali, Arvind Lifestyles Brand Limited, Admit Aggarwal, Crazy Denim industry LLP, More magazine visited the campus.

Infrastructure: The college has very basic infrastructure, and we have equipment's that are as old as 10 years. Labs did not have air-conditioned facility till last year, the library seems a little insufficient and not so updated, Wi-Fi is available in the college but does not have a nice speed.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable, and there are only some helpful teachers, The course is focused on a few basic things. The course does feel like it is making students industry-ready, but there is also a lot of stuff to be done by students on their portfolio.

Other: I have chosen this course because of my leaning interest. The good things in our course are I am learning new things, and I am able to do a lot of stuff that I wouldn't have done before like talking to a group and being able to explain my ideas and thoughts. I wish that the course was a little more planned and updated from time to time. The campus is located near two markets on both sides and has good connectivity.

Faculty: The new curriculum at NIFT includes specialisation in our course. Two choices are offered in each course. Other than that, common subjects keep going on. A new type of subjects like general electives which includes subjects like historical walk, dance, yoga, etc., are included to reduce the burden of students. Other than this you have to select inter-department one subject.

Other: Exams are not conducted in any design course. Juries are available, so at the end of every semester, students have to present their work in front of a jury of 3-4 people.
