Placements: Kolkata B.FTech has a record of 100% placement for almost every year. The highest salary of last year placement was 16 Lacs/annum where as the lowest - 4 Lacs/annum.

Infrastructure: The whole campus has very fast Wi-Fi connection, For B.FTech students, there are two IT labs, one pattern making lab, one garment construction labs and two machine labs with advanced machines. Library is very important part of the college. It has very good collection of books. Classrooms are also the clean and we'll maintained. Besides this the hostel is well maintained but there are 3-5 persons in a single room. No hostel facilities for Boys. The quality of food in the mess keeps changing in every year as different companies come. Canteen food is also good.

Faculty: Teachers are very supportive throughout the course of time and are highly educated also with immense knowledge. The teaching skills are beyond the mark of excellence. Yes the course curriculum is relevant but not apt as the education level and field is becoming advance the course must also include advancements. As the curriculum is changing some things have changed for good but some are not satisfactory.

Infrastructure: The campus is fully Wi-Fi enabled.

NIFT- full of fun with practical knowledge of fashion and its technology.

Placements: 100% placement for the department of fashion technology. Most of the students are placed during graduation project in the final year. The campus placement is also at its best. For the 2017 placement, the batch of bachelor of fashion technology got placed at Sahi Exports, Silver Spark Apparel Ltd, Reliance Trends, etc.

Infrastructure: All NIFT campuses have a beautifully designed infrastructure. The campus has a clean environment. The classrooms have proper desks and tables. Everything is maintained properly. There's a proper ground for sports and other activities and a separate badminton court, basketball court, auditorium for events and programs.

Faculty: High-speed Wi-Fi is available inside the campus. The classrooms are fully air-conditioned. There are different labs like GC lab, PM lab, dyeing lab, weaving lab, knitting lab available. Sports club, social club for extra-curricular activities, doctor chamber, etc. are also there.

Other: The faculty members are really helpful. They do not discriminate and help us in finding internship and further study abroad. The assignments are properly explained by the faculty of the concerned subject. Every year, a mentor is allotted by our college to each student. We can talk with our mentor (faculty member) regarding our problems that we face in our college and what we are supposed to do in the concerned subject. The mentor suggests us how to present in front of the jury members and helps us to explore.

Join NIFT and be a proud garment technologist.

Placements: This department has had 100 percent placement record for the past years. Big national and international companies turn up in the placement drives. NIFT has centralised placements which mean that all the students are allowed to take part in the drives happening across the nation. A lot of exciting jobs are offered here.

Infrastructure: There is nothing as such to boast about. We do not have lush green hundreds of acres of land but the location is centralised and very approachable. Since the admissions are very limited we do not need a bigger environment. Every department has their fully functional labs. As for technical facilities, all the resources we need are available on the campus. The machines are well-maintained and so are the classrooms. The college has Wi-Fi, a pretty decent resource centre, and a NIFT shop as we call it where we get everything we need for the assignments. Then we have an auditorium and courts for sports. There are four student clubs that organise various events throughout the year.

Faculty: This course is meant for aspiring merchandisers or people who want to work in the garment industry but not designing. We are taught everything from communication skills to various software, and garment construction pattern making. We have management subjects as well, so the curriculum is designed quite well keeping in mind the overall development. Also, the faculty members are highly qualified and well-approachable.

Other: We also have frequent industry visits and then we have an outbound program. Also, we have a 2-week textile internship, 3 months apparel internship and a semester of the graduation project. Also, we have our inter-college fest "Spectrum" in the month of February. And we have converged it is an all-NIFT event where students from all the centres across the nation meet at a centre and we have various competitions amongst us.
