Honest review after experiencing my life alone in Bangalore nift

Fees and Financial Aid:

Okay , so the fees doesn't increase or decrease and the fee is paid sem wise (every 6months) so it's almost 2,00,000 per sem and these include the tuition fees n everything , if you opted for hostel than you have to register for that seperately and I'm not sure how exactly is hostel fees since it varies. And people in NRI reservation there fees varies a lot and have to pay much more than us ( these information will be provided in nift page ) . Concerned about the scholarship? Than there is a schemes and more since it's a government college also has scholarship for people other than general category.

The course structures are well integrated to make sure the students learn every aspect of the fields they choose.

Dislikes

The submission dates and work can also get very heavy. This can take a toll on the students sometimes.
The classes sometimes are arranged back to back which can be very hectic.
The courses should integrate real life industry skills so that the students above a more holistic learning.

Fees and Financial Aid:

There are different scholarships that the college provides according to the different requirements of students. One of the scholarships awarded to students is called UDAAN. It can even be taken when there are exchange programs offered by the college. Even the placements at the college are very helpful and provide with several opportunities.

If you want to join NIFT

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fee if you get through general quota is 3 lakh per year which is divided among two sems in each year. There is also NRI quota but the fee for this is around 10 lakh. If you belong to a particular community you have options of getting scholarships, they also provide scholarships for laptops and other electronic gadgets. The criteria for each scholarship depends on the category and your annual income. There is no college job but they push you take yo internship which may allow you to earn a stipend.

Ab overview of life at NIFT Bangalore

Likes

I really liked the way the course was structered. In the foundation year we had a little bit of everything to vasten our knowledge and skills.

Dislikes

Sometimes the classes get very very hectic. We are bombarded with a lot of assignments at the same time hardly giving us the time to focus

Fees and Financial Aid:

The tuition fees for each semester are roughly 2 lakh rupees. But as a design student we need to buy a lots of stationery and extra items which add to the expense. The course itself can be a little expensive for people. The total cost comes around 18-20 lakhs for the 4 years. There are scholarships available for financially weaker students. They are mostly the government scholarships and have a particular criteria for applying based on the income of the student's family. I have not taken any campus employment. There aren't any roles available as such.
