Faculty: The faculties is done master or some of are PhD faculty also. We have one whatsapp group in which director and students are there for sharing problem or anything. This course make student industry read. Depends how is your work quality, creativity.

Other: Because I want to a designing then I searched a lot about NIFT or how they take admission on Google. The fee structure the fees of per semester is too high the are scholarship facility but because of limited seats is no value. Also the fun activities is down where it's sports, dancing, singing, fest, craft, a lot of activities is happening in college day to day dj night etc.

My college life is interesting.

Placements: Hello everyone, I'm studying at NIFT Patna right now. I'm going into my 2nd year in August; this is going to be my 3rd semester. About my college, NIFT Patna is good; last year placements were very good but this year lots of my seniors are facing problems in placements. So if you want the best placements, then you have to score 9 CGPA in every semester. In my class, there are 35 students. And the most important thing is that if you think NIFT Patna is not good, then you are wrong; NIFT Patna is so good at everything. If you are thinking of coming to NIFT Patna, then go for it.

Infrastructure: The library is so good. I'm not a hosteler so I don't know about hostels. The labs are to good; there are all the things required that are needed. But in its labs, some computers are not working and the most important thing you have to do is buy a laptop. If you have one, then it's good to bring it with you to every IT class, like DDC. If you don't have a laptop, please buy one. A laptop is so important in your first year. You have to make lots of assignments and presentations on your laptop. And RC computers don't have Adobe. Classes are also good; they have a projector for presentations and AC. The Adobe package will be provided to you here from the campus.

Faculty: Teacher are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. All teachers have different techniques for studying. If your thinking is unique different and good, then you are in right place. Just give the submission in time. And be confident in front of jury; let them speak first. You just need more then 15/30 there are mid term and end term submissions; you just need more then 15 out of 30 At the end, your total marks for mid term and endterm are calculated out of 60 per subject. So submit your submissions in time. And most importantly, be ready for back-to-back presentations in every subjects.

Other: I chose fashion communication because this is the best course in NIFT. And there placements are good. Events and fests are beyond your imagination. So just come and see. Connect with seniors and faculty members; they are so good.

Satisfied due to facilities and infrastructure. Dissatisfied due to below average placements.

Placements: The percentage of students who get placed ranges from around 75-80%. The highest packages is around 4.5 LPA, the lowest package is around 2-2.5 LPA and the average being around 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Myntra, Levi's, Aditya Birla Group, RIL, Shahi exports, Orient Craft and many other big fashion designers and houses of the Indian Fashion Industry. Everyone has to do the internships compulsorily and the companies are the same as mentioned above. The roles include fashion designer, Graphic designer, UI/UX designer etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure that was available were design labs - Garment construction lab, Pattern making lab, smart classrooms, Nescafe shop, resource centre with computer/books facilities along with many other facilities. All the facilities are really good. The hostel facility was very good but the mess food was not.

Faculty: The teachers were well qualified, knowledgeable, and experts in their fields with lots of industry experience. The quality of teaching was good and was usually practical in nature. The course curriculum was relevant but more exposure to the students should be provided like other top NIFT campuses. It does make the students ready for the industry and the summer internships is great.

Other: I chose the course out of my deep interest in fashion designing. The return on investment of the course is very less so that should be better. The campus is very huge and impressive with very modern architecture and gives very stylish vibes.
