    Absolutely blessed to be a part of NIFT Kolkata.
    Placements: I am so glad to be mastered from NIFT Kolkata. Whatever I am today is because of them. The placements were done very well. They made sure that most of the students get placed during placements and which happened too. The syllabus which was taught had covered almost everything that I am currently doing in my day to day in my industry.
    Infrastructure: Though I never stayed in hostel as I had my relatives in the city. But I did hear a lot from my friends about the good food being served. The cleanliness was good. I have always heard good things about the infra. The wardens were pretty strict so that the decorum of the hostel is maintained.
    Faculty: The teachers were exceptionally well qualified and they knew their work well. They always had practicals and role-plays to make us understand better. The projects given to us made us the better version of us which we are now.
    Other: The fests which happened every year in the college were extremely fun and engaging with lots of creativity.
