NIFT

Minimum eligibility for visual merchandising course is a pass in plus two examinations from a recognized institution in any discipline. In most cases, visual merchandising is taught as one of the major papers in fashion design or technology courses. Most colleges have a different provision for admission. You need to contact the institute officials personally for specific admission details as it differs from one college to another. Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.

Well, you have more than a lot of options one can think about. For eg: after B.Des (FD) - you can work as a fashion designer or a stylist or a fashion consultant or merchandiser or print designer and even a graphic designer. It depends on course to course (FD and FC are more versatile and vast courses of NIFT).

1. You need to create an account and appear for the entrance exam.
2. The exam is held all over India, once you crack the first exam of CAT and GAT. You need a common merit rank under 150 to get admission in NIFT - Mumbai for fashion design.

You may do so, but not full time degrees simultaneously. There is literally no difference between NIFD and NIFT, they are both popular schools for fashion designing. You may check the programme curricula on the institute websites and check the differences in terms of programme delivery, internships, company tie-ups etc. Based on surveys NIFT focuses on Fashion overall and all categories, more practical while NIFD is more into design.

Hi Rajendran!
For southern India, Bangalore is the best option for you.
Best of luck.

Hi,
After finishing M.Des from NIFT, the average starting salary would be 2.5 to 3 lacs per annum.

No, I do not think that is really possible. But, you better call the college up and inquire about the same. Good luck.

Hello Ishika,
There is no shortcut for hardwork. In the same way, you have to give it's entrance exam. No other way is there to get in NIFT. And if you found the way other than this, then do cross check weather the path is right. If you really want to get admission here, then drop one year, give it another chance. May be this time you can get your desired college. Choose wisely.
