On B.Des Admissions
Q:   Can I get admission in NIFT Hyderabad for B.Des with 60% in Class 12th?
A: 

Greetings,

NIFT is totally unaffected by the percentage you score in class 12. You just got to have a passing certificate.All that matters, is your CMR that you’ll score in the entrance exam.Everything coming up your way, from your choices of the centres, your second counselling advantage, to your SPT, will more or less depend on your CMR.So, you need to score well in your entrance exam and stop worrying about your percentage in class 12 But you must have passed the 10+2 level examination or equivalent examination from a recognised Board of Secondary Education in India with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.

Thank you.

I am absolutely satisfied with this college.

Overall, it is a good college with good faculty, but hostels could get a little better.
Placements: Out of all the courses that we have, maximum placements are obtained by students studying in the Fashion Communication and Fashion Technology department. They are placed in brands like Arvind Mills, Aditya Birla Group, Louis Philippe, etc. Students get better internships outside.
Infrastructure: There are better hostels on other main campuses like Gandhinagar, Bangalore, and Delhi. The Hyderabad campus is also good. It's the third-largest campus of all. The mess facilities have been getting better over a period of time. Sports are also taken care of.
Faculty: The difficulty level is not that high. Faculty members are mostly good at considering the marks of students. We have a proper jury, where a panel of two internals and one external sits together to review our work. The average comes out to be quite good. Students work hard a lot, day and night, and they do get what they deserve.
Other: The best part about our college is that we have many college events, which enhance our opportunities for overall engagement and develop our personalities. Our college offers scholarships. There are many extracurricular activities and competitions. Modeling for instance is the other name of our fashion college.

Good faculty, many amenities, well maintained hostels, classes and labs .
Placements: This years pass outs are currently working hard on their internships and last year projects. Some of them have already received the placements while some are still looking for them. In my batch, as far as I know, two people have received their placements from 60,000 - 120000 / month.
Infrastructure: The classes are well built and air conditioned. There are a few amenities for students to pass time during their break, for instance a pool table and a TT table. The labs are well maintained and have everything you could possibly need for assignments. The hostels are well maintained and are in a twin-sharing system. The Hyderabad campus also provides a guest house facility for parents to stay in when they drop their children to college. The cost for that is 900 rs per night. The washrooms can use more maintenance, but they're relatively better than most campuses.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified with most of them having at least 14 years of experience in teaching at nift. The teaching quality is better offline, as online is not that effective. The course curriculum is relevant and provides deepening specializations which makes the students industry ready. Usually during offline we have jury where a few judges and the student sit together and evaluate the work, however due to the current covid situation the jury assignments are online where we just need to submit pdfs for our works and are given grades accordingly.
Other: I chose knitwear design as it's relatively similar to fashion design and I would gain experience in working with different fabrics. There are many fest held in the campus when I was there for a few months. We had dandia night, bonfires, Diwali celebrations, craft bazaar and much more. The campus crowd is decent as people come from all types of places and states.

It has the best infrastructure and the best faculty members across India.
Placements: NIFT Hyderabad provides 100% placements. Top international and national brands come every year to recruit new people. The lowest and the highest amount of salary package depends on the work and your department, but still, you could find a good placement with connections.
Infrastructure: It has the best canteen across all NIFT campuses in Hyderabad. The library which is called the Resource Center is also top-notch in the Hyderabad campus. We have plenty of labs, and NIFT provides a good amount of resources. Every year NIFT organises an inter-college sports competition called converge which is very helpful for students.
Faculty: Faculty members in NIFT are interchangeable. It doesn't matter which city you are choosing to study in. Most of the faculty members are experienced, and departments are very helpful with students. NIFT has collaborated with a lot of artisans, and it helps a lot to the students who are from a not artistic background.
Other: If you are more in fashion then NIFT is a good college for design. Otherwise, NID and IIT could top the list.
