What You Didn't Know About the National Institute of Fashion Technology.
Placements: About 90% of the students get placed in different sectors of the fashion industry. The highest package is 80 LPA and the lowest is 7 LPA for B.FTech. Top recruiters are Puma, Myntra, Reliance, Raymond, etc. About 100% of students do their internships in companies such as Vardhman Textile, Levis, Raymond, etc. The top roles are HR Manager, Buyer, Production Manager, Production Controller, Senior Executive, etc.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-equipped with top-of-the-line machines required for apparel production. Only the girls' hostel is available here in Kannur, and it is well-occupied with everything you need. It has all varieties of Indian foods from different parts of India and top-of-the-line facilities.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and have experience of 10+ years. The teaching quality is top-notch. The practical application of apparel production makes students very much industry-ready, which you will experience once you enter NIFT. You have juries and two written exams, which are very easy if you understand the concepts clearly during lectures.
Other: I chose this course because it equips us with skills that make us experts in the fashion field. I think this course should have more popularity as it is underrated and should attract more audiences. We have Spectrum, IVs, Outbound, Cultural Festivals, etc., in our curriculum.

This is the best campus ever.
Placements: NIFT is providing good placements; in the past, they have also provided good placements. At Nift Kannur, we will get placements, but not for every student, and we will get a chance to work with a designer. In Nift Kannur, you can explore the companies and the job offers they are making.
Infrastructure: Our campus has a huge setup of Wi-Fi, and the campus also has the best facilities, but boys don't have hostels. The classes and campus are neat and clean, and the resource center has a collection of books. And the infrastructural structure of the campus is very nice; it's unique compared to the other campuses.
Faculty: The best area is that there are more practical classes, so it's very interesting, and the faculty are also good for teaching, and the lessons they are giving are also getting proper attention. And we have jury exams that are divided into three parts: midterm, end term, and final.
Other: I am in the 2021–25 batch of knitwear designers. Basically, we are learning everything about knitwear.

Life at Nift Kannur be like.
Placements: I have not completed the course yet. I have heard from seniors and alumni that the placements are above average. If you work hard, get good grades, and prepare well, you will get good placements. The college faculty also said the same during orientation: it depends on you.
Infrastructure: Everything is good but could be better. The college is working on it, so hopefully it will be better next year. The auditorium and hostel rooms could be better (they are working on it), but the classrooms and other facilities are good. Most probably, everything will be nice next year.
Faculty: Teachers are really helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Most faculty members are NIFT alumni. They all teach well; some of them are really nice. The curriculum is relevant and is designed to prepare students for the industry. In NIFT, most subjects have juries. Juries can be difficult, but it depends on how well you prepare.
Other: I chose this course because I love doing creative things like making things. I still haven't finished the course, so I can't say what things could make it better. Events are all hosted by clubs. We have at least one DJ every month. We had a really great Onam celebration. There are a few scholarships, like Sartak, that you can apply for.

I am dissatisfied with placements and campus life.
Placements: There is around 60% to 70% placement this year. The highest package this year was around 9 LPA. Top recruiters are Trident, Raymond, and Arvind. About 100% of students get internship opportunities in Arvind, Raymond, and Laguna. About70% to 80% of students get internships in different apparel companies. Top roles offered are merchandiser, production manager, IE executive, etc.
Infrastructure: It has Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, a library, a garment construction room, and a pattern-making lab. The hostel is enough for girls. There is no hostel for boys, but there are PGs outside the campus. The hostel provides good quality food. Medical facilities are available with games like basketball, snooker, etc.
Faculty: Teachers are well experienced in the industry. The teaching is according to the curriculum with several outbound and industry visits. The curriculum is theory-based, and internships are done to gain industry experience. Exams are pretty competitive and fair. They are jury-based.
Other: I chose this course because I'm from a PCM background. The best part about the course is learning the practical aspects of all departments in apparel. The curriculum could be more relevant to the industry. Spectrum is an event. The campus crowd is smaller. It is located in a rural area with nothing around it.
