Everyday is a new interesting fun day.

Placements: Almost 80-85% of students got their internships or jobs in amazing companies across India in different cities like Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, etc. Many students got opportunities to work with end brands like Tanishq, Amazon, etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is provided both in the hostel and college. The college has separate labs and classrooms for each specialisations. The college also has a resource center or a library with interesting and knowledgeable books which makes it a favourite place for a lot of students. The food quality in the mess or canteen is average. It does have medical facilities and therapists available on campus.

Faculty: In our college, the teachers are good and ready to help you with all your problems even if it is something outside the curriculum. The curriculum is very interesting as it makes students think out of the box and have very less bookish knowledge. Such a curriculum makes the students ready for the industry as the teachers are pretty strict with work. The semesters can be quite fun and interactive if one is dedicated to their goal. The semester exams are a tough time for all the students but it is all worth it at the end.

Other: I chose fashion communication as I was always interested in fashion and as well as the marketing side. The course also covers the other digital design and marketing topics. The events and fest on campus are quite average. The campus crowd is pretty good. As the college is located in Shillong which is a totally hilly region, we do face a lot of connectivity issues but are manageable. Shillong is a very beautiful place and so the surroundings and nature are a whole different experience compared to the cities. The college does provide different scholarships regarding which information is available on the website itself. We do have a lot of extracurricular activities going around.

The college has really good infrastructure.

Placements: Placements for my batch were very good. Most of them got the highest package. But, for the AD batch, the placement rate was very poor. There are no such companies who recruit students of Accessory Design branch in one go, though there are reputed companies in the field.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is exquisite and in pristine condition. Although the campus is very small, the location is easily reachable, and there are several places like the nearby market, shops, local foods, entertainment places, hotels etc.

Faculty: In terms of learning, the students of NIFT Shillong have been taught and trained to do things their own rather than getting it outsourced like most of the centres do. Though their learning experience is at that level, I don't think any other centre can have the facilities and faculty members that we have in our college.

Other: The campus surroundings have greenery. The environment is eco-friendly. Commuting the college is easy. It is hard to get source material. Food provided is expensive, but the deals with lodging facilities are good.

Fashion management is an art, and we can learn that here.

Placements: If you want to pursue your career in management in a niche domain like fashion, then this is the place for you. Faculty members take the pain to explain everything in detail and will be there for you anytime you need their guidance. But it's not an autonomous body, and you have to attend the three best placement drives.

Infrastructure: Currently, it's a mediocre campus, but soon the campus will be shifted to another place which is quite big. Books in the library are updated every month, and the computer labs are in good condition. High-speed Wi-Fi facility is available in the college as well as in the hostel. Medical facilities are available whenever needed.

Faculty: Masters course in fashion management is a mixture of commerce and fashion. You will find subjects like marketing research and fashion forecasting. Faculty members take the pain for students and work as a facilitator. They are interested in clearing the doubts of the students.

Other: You will find a mixed crowd here as there are people from different backgrounds. Fests conducted on the campus provide a great entertainment, and a fashion show is held on the campus every year.

College life in Shillong.

Placements: In NIFT Shillong, the accessories design department is the best one. Many students got offers from very big brands and companies like Tanishq and all. The faculty and how they taught you are also very good. You can learn about bags and jewellery here in the local craft also.

Infrastructure: I am not a hosteler but I know a little bit so it's okay. Labs are good. We have different types of labs, computer lab, leather lab, wood lab, and every department has its own labs. Wi-Fi is good. We have a canteen also and a shop for stationery.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good and helpful. They help you even when you are not in college. You can improve your work with feedback. The marks always depend on how you perform, what you submit, and what you are doing with your work. You have to put effort and show your best version.

Other: You face difficulties with other students sometimes but it's also the best time when you learn new things. We can learn and enjoy every moment.
