S.d's Review On Northern India Institute Of Fashion Technology - [NIIFT], Mohali

The main objective of the scores is to develop the managerial and leadership skills in the fields of fashion, lifestyle, merchandising, garment export etc. The course is a fusion of merchandising and marketing with a strong emphasis on fashion and marketing orientation so that the students become versatile manager in global fashion industry. The duration of the course is 2 years in which we are introduced to subjects such as basics of fashion and design process, fundamentals of entrepreneurship, window display and visual merchandising, fashion event management and others.

The Top placements companies that came during my batch were 99 Labels, Monte Carlo, Tommy Hilfiger, Blue Beans, Puma, Fossil etc. The average placement offered by these companies were around 5.5 LPA and the highest was around 18 LPA. The students were offered the roles of brand manager, export sales manger, apparel merchandiser, business sales executive and marketing management. Summer internship were also offered in areas such as fabric quality management, export sales, costumes and cutting designing etc.

The total fees for 2 years is around 2.4 lakhs which includes the admission and exam fees and other charges, a security deposit amount also needs to be paid before the start of the semester. Medical insurance premium of 1250 and extracurricular fees of 2500 is to be paid separately.

The SAP club promotes cultural activities for a healthy lifestyle of students.The literacy club also organises poetry festivals, book reviews, debates and declamation contest.The sports club promotes various activities such as football, volleyball, kabbadi, chess, table tennis, wrestling etc. Yoga sessions are also held every evening so that the students are mentally and physically fit.

The hostel fees is 12500 per annum. The hostel rooms are quite big and spacious and we are provided with facilities such as attached bathrooms, laundry facilities, canteen and mess facilities, electricity, water coolers and a good internet connection. The hostel security amount of 4000 which are refundable needs to be paid in case of any damages. Separate electricity fees of 3000 also needs to be paid annually. Thus i would rate the facilities 8.5/10.

The students can apply online with a required educational qualification. You need to have a bachelor's degree from a recognized board or institute. The eligible candidates then have to appear for the entrance test which is conducted by NIIFT. The short listed candidates are then called for an interview based on the scores in the entrance exam and the performance of the students in the situation tests. Thus a final selection will be made on the score in the tests and a merit list will be prepared for the students who are selected for admission in this college.

The teachers are very friendly with the students and guide them to perform smart research operations and grow and analytical perspective to make informed decisions so that the students can make the brand image match with the definition of the brand or product portfolio and other distribution channels. Any doubt related to fashion management is answered on their behalf and they prepare the students to be future managers of big fashion companies who will be able to deal with the competitive environment and promote the best practices in national and international fashion arena.
