NIFT introduced the BFTech (Bachelor of Fashion Technology) course in the year 1986. Keeping an eye on the emerging design industry, they addressed the requirement for skilled professionals in the Fashion Design field with a blend of technology. BFTech course prepares students through both creative and technical approaches.  

In an ideal situation, one year is a good enough time to cover the entire NIFT syllabus, solve sample papers, and take mock tests. But considering there is only 6 months or so left for the NIFT exam, the candidate can still prepare for the exam in that period. But for that to happen, the candidate needs to get hold of the best study material available, manage their time efficiently, follow a strict study routine, get familiar with the exam syllabus and pattern, and prepare in earnest.

When selecting study material for the NIFTEE Exam, candidate should make sure the books are as per the current syllabus and pattern, are well written, easy to follow, explains the concepts in detail, etc. 

Also go through articles and videos which have last year question papers. 

The NIFTEE Exam for the B.Des programme doesn't ask very difficult maths questions; so, even if you are not from Science background and have average skills in the subject, you can manage. Just solve previous years question and sample papers, and read book for NIFT preparation.

If you want a short and effective answer, then NIFT entrance preparation books by Arihant are considered to be reliable. They touch all the syllabus and are also recommended by toppers. Also, note that the GAT paper for B.Des carries only 30% weightage, so it is not wise to get bogged down by heavy-duty books.
