Remarks

I did not find my college constructive. Most of the time was wasted and energy was spent in tacklimg college politics.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Course Curriculum and its purpose is very vague in tech department. I believe there is no in depth knowledge provided in any area in Tech Department. A little bit of marketing, a little bit of technology, it's not helping anyone achieve a mastery. A graduate in FTech cannot compete with an MBa studennt, cannot compete with a Btech Student.

Placement Experience

3.5

Placement because of the brand of NIFT I believe is average. However today I see most of my classmates struggling to make ends meet or have started pursuing MBA or any other post graduate degree because they realised that a job with just an undergrad degree from NIFt will not land them anywhere.

College Events

4

There were several events in NIFT. All major festivals were celebrated in the college campus. Apart from that there was the annual college fest called Spectrum. There was Dandia Night too. Apart from that different communities of the college had different programs, literary, cultural or sports etc.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee Structure at NIFt is very expensive. At my time it was roughly 90,000 per semester and increased ten percent every semester. There were a total of 8 semesters. And apart from that the study materials would make even bigger holes in your pocket. The students were strained by the expenses they had to bear.

Fees and Financial Aid

I did not apply for scholarship. There was student loan available for students but I did not avail it.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus Life was undoubtedly fun. There wasn't much academic pressure on students. So there was good time to explore the city, surroundings which also had a negative impact though. Most of the students indulged in debauchery. Most of them became addicts.

Hostel Facilities

4

No. But I had friends in hostels. Hostels had adequate facilities. They were buildings taken on lease by the college till they build their own. They had AC and Non Ac rooms. The prices varied obviously.

Alumni/Alumna

Not really. The alumni network is real bad. The alumni were visible only when the freshers arrived. They enjoyed ragging but their career path was disappointing and disheartening.

Admission

Entrance Exam as mentioned. The enrollment forms come out in the month of November. Then we have entrance exams in the month of February. I scored AIR 20. There are two kinds of exams in NIFT, one is for design students and the other for tech. For design students they have three levels of tests. For Tech it's only one.

Faculty

3

I found very few faculties who actually had a good command over their respective subjects. The others were just managing somehow. The Mumbai Branch of NIFT was full of inadequate faculty during my years of studying. They lacked in depth knowledge of the subject, they lacked the will to impart knowledge.
