An overview of life at NIFT Bangalore
Likes
- I really liked the faculty at the Bangalore campus. They have a very good and practical approach at teaching. It's more than just books or conventional tasks. They know how to get your mind working in ways you didn't even know you could. They are also very supportive and approachable.
- The campus has the perfect atmosphere for a design student. Every wall has a creative touch to it. The campus is well equipped with resources accessible to all. It doesn't feel tiring to spend the entire day in campus. It has become like a second home.
Dislikes
- The mess food could definitely be improved. Also the seating capacity falls short during rush hours.
- I wish we had a bigger campus. It would have added to our campus experience.
Remarks :
NIFT 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.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The curriculum is very well structured for a design student. There is a good balanced mix of everything. The faculty members are very supportive and approachable. Nift is very strict when it comes to assignments so the teachers will be a little strict while reviewing your work but they give good feedback and constructive criticism which helps you in improving the quality of your work. The best part is there are no textbooks. It is a creative hands-on experience while learning. The fee is roughly 2 lakhs per semester leading up to 16 lakhs for 4 years. There are government scholarships available on the campus to which the qualifying students can get access. There are no written exams but we get two major assignments at an interval of 2-3 months and one final assignment which is presented before an end-term jury for review. The assignments given are very interesting and fun to work on.
Internships Opportunities :
I am still in the second year and internships usually start in the third year. Students can apply for internships in any year but it usually takes time to build a good portfolio so the third year is the most convenient when it comes to applying for internships. A good number of companies are available that give opportunities to Nift students. Students can submit their portfolio to faculties who in turn connect the students to companies in their contact and act as a mediator. It is a very smooth experience. The teachers can just circulate your portfolio in companies they have a contact in and help you out.
Placement Experience :
Having only started the 2nd year I don't really have a lot of idea about the placement process but I had talked to a few seniors to gain a little knowledge about it. A good number of companies around 8-10 come for the on campus placements after the completion of 8th semester. Students sit for the placements with their resumes. Placements are also done off campus if someone lands a pre placement offer based on their graduation project. Almost 70% of the students get placed during the placement season with the average package ranging from 6 lakhs per annum to 20 lakhs per annum.
Campus Life :
The campus is very inclusive when it comes to celebrating festivals. Everything from Onam, Pongal, Lohri, Dussehra, Diwali, Holi is celebrated with equal Vigour and enthusiasm. When it comes to fests there are two major ones, The spectrum and the Converge. There are a lot of clubs on campus like the photography club, literature club, sports club, cultural club and social service club run efficiently by an elected student council. There is a well equipped library present in the campus which stays open till 8 pm and contains all the books and reference materials one could ever need. I have never faced the disappointment of not finding a book I was looking for. Hostel accommodation is present on campus but is available only for girls. Boys need to find pgs outside campus. The hostel registration is done after the campus allotments are complete during admissions. You can register through the separate hostel websites available for each Nift campus. The food is pretty decent and affordable.

RVU from the POV of a Student
Course Curriculum Overview :
All the faculties are extremely well qualified from top institutions of the world and they are all extremely approachable and nice. The term exams we had were split like CP1, CP2, and CP3 of 20+25+25 marks each. They were some easy ones, and some application based, which develops the engineering thinking mindset
