Good college with good faculty. The campus is also the best.

Placements: Almost 95% of placements are guaranteed. Companies like Aditya Birla, Myntra, and other comes for recruitment. Seniors said that there are many good opportunities after NIFT. Though it's my first year, I am happy with my decision. I am sure that this college will lead to a good future.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. The campus is very big and nice. There are huge classrooms and labs. Over-timings of labs are scheduled for students. The hostel has good facilities. The mess provides good food. Good rooms are there in the hostel with good security.

Faculty: Teachers help us in all ways. We are trained in a very good manner for further jobs and industry work. Faculty members are well-educated. They have good experience. They have 10-20 years of experience. They are very good at helping students to get success.

2Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

NIFT Gandhinagar overview.

Placements: The average package is around 6 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Around 50% of students get placed. Top recruiting companies are ABFRL, Arvind, Nykaa, and First Cry. Almost everyone gets an internship as it is mandatory. The top roles offered for our course are Consultant, Merchandiser, etc.

Infrastructure: We are provided with Wi-Fi, IT labs, PM labs, and sewing labs. The classrooms are well-equipped with AC and smart boards. The hostel is available only for first-year female students, and you can have food from the mess, but they charge for that. You’ll have to pay for one semester. The food is average, and medical facilities are available for students. Sports activities are also offered.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. They are well-qualified and provide quality knowledge. In this course, we learn everything from management to coding, sewing, etc. The jury is really helpful for students, as it gives us an idea of how we should present our pitch. Mostly, they conduct juries, and there are only a few exams. The passing criteria are 50%.

Other: The course is a blend of both technology and fashion, and since I am interested in both, it was the best option for me. The course makes you industry-ready, as it teaches everything about the industry. There should be more in-depth knowledge provided instead of scattered information. No major events happen, only Spectrum and Converge. The campus crowd is decent. They provide Sarthak scholarships, and small club events keep happening.

Review of National Institute of Fashion Technology.

Placements: Since it is a new course that started in 2021, campus placements are not provided. First batch of students took part in a research dissertation project in their final year.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is satisfactory but the buildings need some renovation. Hostel rooms are good with double occupancy including two beds with no mattresses, tables, racks, and mirrored almirahs. There is an extra space above the almirahs for storing additional items.

Faculty: Faculty members in our college are knowledgeable, well-qualified, and experienced. They interact with every student. The course curriculum is helpful in multiple disciplines and is an ideal option for students interested in research-oriented careers in any field.

Other: I chose this course because it is a research-based course.

Good college, with decent future prospects.

Placements: We are the second batch here at NIFT Gandhinagar, in M.Des programme. This is a research based course. So, they teach you systems thinking, problem solving thinking and design thinking methods. 4 main specifications in M.Des are curation, social design, UI UX, and strategy management design.

Infrastructure: Facilities are available. It is a bit small campus, compared to other new campuses. Hostel facility is available only for girls of first year. Food is good here. Doctors are available. Sports facilities are available.

Faculty: Four main depending specialisations are curation, design for society, ui UX, and strategic manage design. This M.Des programme is research based, and not product centred. It makes the students industry ready. The work we do here is good. 3 assignments, and final jury are conducted.

Placements: Our college provides average placements. Students have to work hard, to get placed.

Faculty: Teachers are good. The course curriculum is good. They provide curatorial practices, and less visual communication.

Theory based curriculum; good for people who want to go for research.

Placements: We are the second batch of M.Des. So, right now none of us are placed. Top roles could be visual designer, ui ux design, art curator, social designer, ux researcher, social media expert, brand strategist, trends forecaster, social entrepreneur, systems thinker etc.

Infrastructure: The master of design is a fairly new course. Classrooms have ACs, projectors and Wi-Fi. The hostel is decent, however there are no AC or cooler in the hostel. There is also strict curfew timings. The college campus is very small, and there is no proper ground for sports. We only have one basketball, and badminton court.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified professionals, and do enough for the students. The course is research and theory based, and there are not a lot of practical works.

Other: A pretty expensive course, but the exposure and the brand name is decent.
