There were no head designers to guide me, and I had to resign it as there was no chance of getting any good exposure for learning any practical work.

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.

I feel they should give placement nicely.

Placements: Only 1 or 2 students got placed in the year. They should have worked on their placement system. Otherwise, they gave you a chance to work at LFW, though that was fine. They gave more workshops than other colleges and also gave you a chance to volunteer at Lakme Fashion and Bombay Times.

Infrastructure: They had only classrooms and Wi-Fi, nothing more. There was no canteen in place, but they organized a sports day. It was not like a college. It was like an institute and was just small, but you got more entertainment while doing window displays and all.

Other: Fashion was my passion. NIF needed to improve its placement system. Otherwise, it was the best. I thought fashion had a future and you should have a career in fashion, but for college and placement, it was not a better option. I was saying again that the college was really helpful for your knowledge, but if you wanted to pursue it in the future, that was not the right place because they did not provide placements. For a fashion designer, it was really important to have placement because everyone asked for your experience, and during the starting period, that was really difficult.

Good campus life but don't keep any fancy expectations, you'll be disappointed. Be open to learning.

Placements: NIFT Mumbai Accessories Design: 90%+ placements, salaries 3.5-13 LPA. Top recruiters: Titan, Amazon, Myntra, Hidesign, Flipkart, Godrej. Roles: Product Designer, UI/UX, Merchandiser, Creative Consultant. Internships at Fastrack, Tata, startups. Covers jewelry, smart wearables, and digital design. Many alumni become entrepreneurs.

Infrastructure: Girls hostel is very good, food is not the best but better than most hostels, college infrastructure is also very good. In both places, whatever complaints are made, they're taking action upon immediately. The resource centre aka library is very good and filled with super expensive and rare books, make use of it.

Faculty: No exams are taken, only jury is done where we have to show all our works we've done throughout the course. Whatever we are taught helps in portfolio development. If you choose Mumbai campus, you really get to opt for so many opportunities outside campus, it's truly very fun.

Other: Facilities are top notch, at least in the top two campuses: Delhi and Mumbai.

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.

Great faculty, good education, but the infrastructure and sourcing can be challenging.

Placements: The on-campus placements haven’t been that good lately, so most people apply for off-campus opportunities. During placements, priorities are given to the higher campuses. For example, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore. Last time, they made a new rule where only 3/5 companies one can select to sit for the placement process, and in most of the cases, many companies backed out, and then students were left with a smaller number of companies to apply for.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is good. I personally feel they should have more machines. During juries, there is a lot of chaos as both the juniors and seniors need them. The college is in Navi Mumbai. It becomes very difficult to source materials as we have to travel to Mumbai. I wish the college was in Mumbai itself. We would have had more exposure. As for the hostel, it’s decent, but the only downside is the hostel food, which is very bad.

Faculty: The main reason I think people are willing to come to NIFT is the quality of education and the teachers. The faculty members are really good, and they are always ready to help us. However, you have to make an extra effort to approach them with any problems, as usually, they do not check each student personally, but if you go to them, they are very helpful.

Other: I feel NIFT is the best place to study if you are into fashion and want to make a career in it. Even the industries know the quality of students NIFT makes, and that’s why priorities are given to NIFT students as compared to other students from other colleges. In India, definitely, NIFT is one of the best places to learn fashion.
