    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.

    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.

    The college has good infrastructure and facilities.
    Placements: Almost 70% of the students get placed from all departments. I am not sure about the salary package offered. The companies recruiting depends on applications from the students.

    Good infrastructure and facilities.
    Placements: Placement percentage was 100% for my senior batch and the average package offered was 60,000/- Students are facilitated with options to attend interviews from other NIFT centres as well. For fashion design department, stipends are rarely given and that purely depends upon the company. Students are required to do an eight weeks internship (June-July) right after the completion of the sixth semester.
    Infrastructure: The campus has Wi-Fi but works best near the Resource Centre and in the computer labs. There are seperate PM, GC, CAD labs for all the departments and additional labs according to the department requirement like photography studio, weaving lab, print/dye lab, etc. There is a library with all kinds of books that help in research and reference and the computers have access to WGSN website as well. Various magazines, newspapers and also Promostyle is available in th RC. There is an auditorium with centralised A/C and the girls' hostel is within the campus premises. All the computer labs are air conditioned and the classrooms are big enough to accommodate more than 50 students. Canteen has very less range of eatables, Maggie and Kubboos-chicken being the favourites. Hostel rooms are big, with three students per room, two fans, tubelights, tables, chairs, three cots, cupboards and one long mirror. The corridors and washrooms are cleaned daily by the cleaning staff. Apart from mess and Wi-Fi there is washing machine (currently one working) for all the hostelers in the terrace. I did not face any difficulty regarding the infrastructure till now in the college.
    Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and helpful. At present there are only three faculty members and one assistant in the Fashion Design department. All the teachers are approachable and the way of teaching is quite involving and helps the students develop their own creativity and personality. There are 30-35 students in every batch. Every year students go for Industry visits to Tiruppur, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Wayanad, etc. And get to study and learn the processes more closely. The course curriculum was really helpful with even Research Methods and Manufacturing Process as subjects to enhance our understanding about Research and Manufacture.
    Other: Events conducted include: Spectrum (Inter-department), Tarang (Inter-College). Various art and craft exhibitions are also conducted to showcase the students' talents. There is also an Instagaram handle for Nift Kannur. All the government aided scholarships are available and the Scholarships department helps to easily get access to these scholarships. Other than the various inter college fests, students also get chance to volunteer for various brand product shows and launches and Designers' meets.
