Arpita Mahanti's Review On National Institute Of Fashion Technology - [NIFT] Kangra, Kangra

I was passionate about Designing at that time. NIFT is a very respected government college in the field of Design and that's why I chose NIFT Kangra.Very fewer provisions of on-campus faculty for a batch of about 150 students (including all the other programs), only 15 faculty members were present. The ratio would be 10:1. However, various Guest Faculties used to come for a few subjects for a duration of 4 - 15 days as per requirement.Qualification: Some have done Maters in Arts, or some were Textile Designer, and some didn't have a qualification or not, we have had no idea. But the guest faculty who visited NIFT Kangra Campus had a Masters in Design such as Textiles, Visual Merchandising, Fashion Communication, etc. The teaching method was not extraordinary. It would have been great if students were taught basic things related to textiles such as dyeing or printing, maybe have extended the weaving subject duration. That would have been great. They majorly focused on the commercial aspect of Textile Designing like Print designing on a Computer (CAD) or by hand. There were a few theory classes, a few practical and some creative subject classes.Exams were conducted on a semester basis such as Summer exams and Winter exams. Besides, there was a continuous internal assessment of students.There were two types of exam:Theory Exam: Written Test fro all theory subjectsJury: Kind of Interview for all creative/practical subjects.Difficulty Level: Easy-Moderate

1) So, In the month of February, NIFT Kangra organizes a spectrum inviting various neighboring colleges. Good Food, Games, decorations, cultural activities, and live concerts. It was a hell of an event.2) Every Month of September or October, we used to organize a 10 days Durga Puja Food Fest. Something which our Batch in 2012 has introduced. Various Cultural and Sports Activities were organized by us. Apart from that a huge variety of food delicacies. Fun event and being the organizers it was the most fun. We used to organize Ramleela as well for which preparations would have started around a month back. We have had organized the Durga Puja Food Fest for consecutively 3 years starting from 2012 - 2014. 3) In the month of December, there is a Convocation, where all the NIFTs visit a particular campus to participate in cultural and sports activities. Never visited as it was polluted with politics :DYes, the Library had a significant range of quality books. One can issue 3-4 books at a time.The classroom had computers to accommodate a complete batch apart from the basic amenities.There was a Dance Club, literary Club, Hindi Club, Sports Club

Sports Facilities: Equivalent to Zero, No such sports activities. There was a small ground where we used to play Badminton and Basketball. Besides, the volleyball ground was better. Although the space at the campus was significant to develop the facility of sports no one has taken any initiative.Library Size: Not that Big but amazing collection of BooksLabs: Good Weaving Facilities, Computer Lab facilities, good facilities for various other departments.

Yes. I have opted for Hostel Facilities of 3 members. The size of the room was good. The hostel was situated at heaven's height (top of a mountain). A bed, an almirah, and a table were provided. The hostels were neat and clean. Have good accommodation space. Washrooms were also clean with Geyser facilities. Amazing Food provided at the mess or canteen. The quality and quantity were good. The menu used to change on a day-to-day basis. All types of vegetables and dals were made. Availability of both Veg and Non-Veg food. Apart from that, various other snack items were provided.I have applied during my counseling at NIFT Delhi.
