NIFT Chennai is great

Likes

Campus life is nice, the people are nice there is a little bit of a language barrier but you can overcome it by talking to everyone
Academic stress is given and the faculties are interested in what you are doing. Unlike other government colleges the faculties push you to do better and be better.
Design interventions are appreciated and a lot of redos are given to the work to be better. Depending on your department you will have great to bad faculty so it's dependent on the department and specialization you choose

Dislikes

Clubs are not student oriented there are mostly headed by faculties since at the end of the day they have to approve the events and designs. Recently a lot of politics also occur
Working at campus after 7 is not allowed and most of the work should be completed in college itself. Towards the jury dates people need to work in the labs but it's not available causing issues.

Internships Opportunities:

The college provides one internship in semester 6 but personally ive gotten internships through personal contacts and it's much better because sometimes you can get paid as well. You can start of with holistics internships to better understand your likes and dislikes and then get a specialised internship to learn more.

Life of a design student

Placement Experience:

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.
