NIFT Mumbai in a nutshell.
Placements: The placement in NIFT is not extraordinary in terms of package, but there are good companies that participate in the process. For internships and job placement, big retail giants like Reliance, ABFRL, Tata Trent, and Dmart come in. About 60% of students get help from the college for the same.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided by NIFT are good. The hostel rooms are spacious and well-equipped. Food, on the other hand, is average. The classrooms and labs are well-equipped and add to the experience of doing everything hands-on and not just relying on presentations.
Faculty: Being in the textile design department gives you the best facilities. They're well-educated and all from different fields in textile. The curriculum is a mix of practical and theory in an appropriate ratio. The exams are tough but interesting to work on, and will give you an insight into professional presentation in front of actual industry experts.
Other: I personally chose textile design because it gives me a wider spectrum of fields to enter post-graduation. I'm more inclined towards the details on the surface than the forms. This course gives me the freedom to do just that, play around with fabric and different surfaces as well as different techniques to achieve that. I think the collaboration between different departments is something that can be improved, but the college is slowly moving towards it. The college life apart from that is very lively and eventful. There are amazing events, competitions, conferences, and opportunities that NIFT opens up to you.

Overall good experience, just not worth the fees we pay.
Placements: The in-house placements are not worth the fees we pay. A very small percentage of our seniors got good placements, or merely decent placements. Internships usually start after the 4th semester, but students are very active at NIFT; they find work outside the college themselves, which helps them in their portfolio.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is decent enough, the hostel facilities are good, but the food is okay-ish. The college has good Wi-Fi and water facilities. The classrooms are large enough, and the library is the best place in the entire campus; it is like a treasure for design students. The quality of food in the hostel mess fluctuates very frequently; else, it is fine.
Faculty: The faculty members are very helpful, and the curriculum is changed every year according to industry requirements. The faculty members help you anytime you reach out to them, and all of your concerns are brought to their notice. Teachers also consider your efforts rather than comparing them with others.

Good placement but the campus is small.
Placements: The average package is around 5-6 LPA, but the recruiters include top fashion companies such as Aditya Birla, Fabindia, and Decathlon. Most roles offered are for positions like merchandiser or buyer. While many students secure jobs through the college placement process, some also apply externally. The NIFT tag significantly enhances employability.
Infrastructure: The campus area is limited due to its location in Mumbai, but overall, the facilities are impressive. The library boasts an extensive collection, and students have access to WGSN and Promostyl. Each room has separate Wi-Fi, although the speed could be improved. Labs are equipped to meet all requirements for garment construction.
Faculty: The faculty members are approachable and supportive. The curriculum emphasizes practical, hands-on learning. Exams are conducted in the form of jury presentations, typically involving projects that span the entire semester. Faculty members are always available to provide guidance and support.

Review of National Institute of Fashion Technology.
Placements: Placements are very good from Mumbai, Bangalore, or Delhi for the students with good marks. There are higher chances of getting a good placement. Around 70% of students got internships.
Infrastructure: Course is very good with facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and a library. Lab coordinators are very good and helpful. Hostel for girls is very good and for boys is above average. Canteen food is very good, takes proper care of hygiene.
Faculty: Exams are very well conducted. All the teachers are well qualified and very helpful. During online classes (due to Covid) a lot of students faced problems in understanding practical portions but it is something which was everywhere and can't be helped.
Other: Students have to learn pattern making and garment construction from Sem 2 to Sem 4. It is very difficult. Campus could be bigger.
