Q:   What is the difference between a Bachelor in Design and Fashion Technology?
A:

Q:   Can I get into NIFT Hyderabad with 70% in class 12th?
A: 

Greetings
Predicting admission to NIFT Hyderabad just on the basis of your 12th grade grades is challenging. Even though 70% is excellent, your chances of being selected for NIFT rely on how well you do on the NIFT entrance exam, the competition that year, and any reserved category advantages that may be offered. Focus on aceing the NIFT exam, monitor official cutoffs, and tour several NIFT campuses and design schools to improve your prospects.
Make sure you are prepared for the NIFT entrance exam by reviewing previous years' papers, taking practice tests, and, if required, signing up for a coaching course run by professionals.

Thank you.

Good faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: Around 84 percent of students got placed with packages ranging from 3 LPA to 12 LPA in campus placement. Recruiting companies are Myntra, Flipkart, Aditya Birla, etc. For this particular course we also have internships for 2nd year, 3rd year, and 4th year.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is great. The labs have Mac computers with a whole system. Out of 3 in one and the other 2 are also great. Labs have all the equipment that is required at the moment. The hostel is also good. People here keep cleaning it from time to time.
Faculty: I am really happy getting such helpful and chill faculty. Most importantly the curriculum keeps changing according to needs as it was changed in 2025 as needs were seen. The passing mark required out of 100 here is 52 which can be scored easily with appropriate focus.
Other: In February we had an event and it was great.

Short review of NIFT Hyderabad.
Placements: The average package of the institute is 3 to 6 LPA, and the highest package as of now is 18 LPA. Students also get internships. Companies that come for placements include Raymond, Siyaram, and Aditya Birla. Along with opportunities from alumni and graduate students.
Infrastructure: The hostel is very poor and small. Wi-Fi quality could be better. There is only a girls’ hostel, no boys’ hostel. The hostel food is okay and hygienic, but the toilets are in very poor condition. The course is good and includes many extracurricular activities.
Faculty: Faculty is very cooperative and has excellent knowledge in their respective fields. The textile design faculty members are strict and follow all the rules made by the department. The teaching quality is very good. They make students industry-ready.
Other: I chose this course because I love crafting and designing. The hostel facilities can be improved. Events are held on a high budget.

I am absolutely satisfied with this college.

Around 80% to 90% of students get job offers in our college. Internships are provided in our college.
Infrastructure: Labs and studios are well-equipped. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus.

Canteen and mess serve 4 times delicious meals including breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner.

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.
