Not satisfied with placement as the college charges hefty fee.
Placements: Placements are good for some departments and bad for others. FC and F&LA get nice placements while the other 5 departments suffer with either low-paying jobs or even no jobs at times. So, depends on the course you choose. Earlier it was quite good, but it's regrading.
Infrastructure: Only a girl's hostel is available and the college is too small. Small playground and library. Overall the college is very small. The labs are enough with all the resources required like knitting machines, overlock machines and of course SNLS machines.
Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and very willing to help you out. Semester exams can be very stressful especially the jury that happens once every semester. The course is quite relevant though and prepares you for the fashion industry in the end.
Other: Very few fests are organized.

In my opinion, NIFT is the best college in Kolkata.
Placements: The placement percentage is almost 100% and some students are going to higher education. The highest package is INR 25 LPA, and the lowest package is INR 3 LPA. Internship facilities are available but you better go get a job compared to internships. Top recruiting companies include top design brands like Reliance, Trends, Pantaloons, etc. The role offered were designer, certificate manager, etc.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is very good. They regularly solve the problem. The Wi-Fi speed is good. Also, the computers are LAN connected and classrooms are LAN- and projector-connected. All the lab rooms have AC. I recently used the e-library feature. The college has a hostel facility and food court inside the college and the medical facilities are helpful. Sports and games are arranged once a year.
Faculty: The faculty members are very helpful, providing us with all types of guidance and resources to complete our assignment. Our department has experienced professors; some of them are gold medalists, and they are very knowledgeable. Exams can be challenging, but they are definitely not impossible; almost 100% of students passed.
Other: This course can allow me to develop my skills while also providing me with opportunities to receive accreditation and pursue my passion. I believe this accounting course will give me a great start in my career, providing me with opportunities in the future.
