I was really interested in design and graphics thats why i wanted to be in NIFT . I gave NIFT's entrance exam in 2023 and got selected . The entrance exam fee was 3000 . There were 2 rounds in the exam . One is general ability test and other is creative ability test . So about the college - it is a nice place to be in , the faculties are really helpful and encouraging , the course is also well planned and they teach you a lot of stuff that i am sure you wont be able to do from other colleges , the exposure is great . Fests and celebrations keep happening throught the year . The seniors are really great and they treat us just like their friends and i have never faced anything like raging or bullying by them . The college atmosphere is welcoming .
Read Full ReviewThe factors that made me choose this college is I wanted to do designing and loved fashion and styling . Written entrance exam is there and situation test is also conducted to enter into NiFT . So cute off critea depends on you rank and category.
Read Full ReviewThe reason I choose this college was because I always wanted to study design and I always wanted to be and NIFT and NIFT Bangalore offered the best fashion communication course in all of India hands I choose this college. There was an All India Entrance exam conducted as it is a government college, and for those who got above the cutoff, they had to go for round 2 which was the studio round. The preparation for the entrance exam honestly is little because does a lot of competition there is every year some four five lacs of students applying for the entrance exams and even giving it so the compression is pretty high and I went to a lot of design coaching centres and I started preparing for my exams from the beginning of my 11th grade.
Read Full ReviewI was interested in this design field and NIFT is one of the top design institutes in the world. For admission there is one written exam and one studio test. You get to give the studio test only if you pass the written exam.
Read Full ReviewI came across this when I watched the movie Devil Wears Prada I was interested in fashion so I knew I wanted to peruse a career in fashion so I researched on fashion colleges in India and abroad and contemplating all the decisions I decided to stay in India and apply for gift as it has the highest reputation for fashion in India.
Read Full ReviewNIFT is the best option in the country when it comes to studying fashion. There is an entrance exam that one needs to clear for admission. It is a written exam with both the CAT(drawing) and GAT(theory) portions. There were no group discussions or interviews conducted. Once you clear the written exam you qualify for the second round which is the situation test which examines your craft and hands-on skills.
