NIFT Chennai is great

Placement Experience:

In the last semester placement offers come up l. The placements aren't extremely great and only a few get very good packages but the average package is not bad. You can also get a very good placement from your internship and continue working there itself.

Life of a design student

NIFT has centralised campus placement. We can sit for placement in our last year of college. NIFT placement percentage drastically reduced recently, but what you get completely depends on your quality of work. We'll probably get many options since NIFT is a prestigious institute, a large number of companies come there for recruitment. I don't have any plans yet, I'll probably get a job first and then think of how I want to go further.

Priya's Review On National Institute Of Fashion Technology - [NIFT] Chennai, Chennai

Placement is 100%, NIFT offers placement at both national and international levels with lucrative packages. Summer internship is as well mandatory for each of us which also offers a handful of stipend depending on circumstances.

My experience with nift

Nift has a great reputation for placement. The placement happens every year for two days. Different companies from all around the world from small to big MNC participate in our placements. Nift has a great placement record and almost all the students get a job with minimum more than average package.

The experience which is unforgettable

Though there is centralized placements, still Placements are not good, The number of companies that come are less in number but depends on the capability of the student to find work otherwise (off-campus). Job prospects are open in fields open to MBA students as well as in Brands and retail segment.

Review of my college

The placements happen every year is most NIFT centers and it is a centralised system and any student can sit in 2 centers other than his/her home center. Other than campus placements one get placed though PPO (pre placement offer) in the company one does their internship in.

Shweta Grover's Review On National Institute Of Fashion Technology - [NIFT] Chennai, Chennai

Placements during the time we passed out ie.2008 were really sad. Global market had seen the worst of recession phases and none of the companies were keen on hiring. Package standards were very low. And very few companies confirmed on jobs post placement process.

nift-awesome life

Placement in Nift is good, many companies in our field will come for the placement, we have to match their expectations and our portfolio will speak about our work and you have to speak about you. Depends on the job role we will be placed and the package will depend on the job profile and your skill only.
