Chellissery Sajeev Sariga's Review On National Institute Of Fashion Technology - [NIFT], Bangalore

NIFT entrance exams ranked 57 chose NIFT for its reputation initial test combines aptitude, general knowlede etc next the group descussion had topic technological advancement is it good for society or Interview asked questions about you basic degree, projects done, interests etc.

My first two internships did not have any stipends the first internship was at BITRA where i had to pay Rs 2000 for the training the second internship was unpaid and free at TRIO apparels, Bengaluru and the time was spend studying the industry and doing a small project on fabric wastage reduction.

Last year some of the companies that came were highest package from Amazon: 1.2 lakchs/month, Raymonds: 35,000 40,000O ther companies Decathalon, Myntra, Laguna, Must Garments.

Culturals spectrum has themed dance, singing, poetry competitions JAM, Mr and Miss Culturals, Skits etc and inter campus competion sports and arts competition occurs among the various campuses of NIFT and is hosted each year at any of the various nift campuses various fashion shows, exhibits, installations and graffiti competitions etc are often held, photography competitions are also held a trip from the college to adventure camps.

Hostel fees reasonable compared to the facilities outside which are much costlier fees is definitely expensive with an increment in the fee by 10% every year.

Yes the college does provide scholarship and lone in tie up with union bank but i do not have one the lone provides the college fees as well as expense account of about 10000 per month to the person the rate of interest at about 11%. The scholarship can be a full or a half scholarship requires students to initially pay the fee and join and then provide appropriate documents and attend an interview to determine his/her suitability for the scholarship.

Hot water is available but often out of order and food has grown more expensive whereas the quality has slightly reduced but again compared to the P.G.'s outside which are often more costlier than the hostel this facility is good and convenient that it is inside the campus itself and takes only a minute to reach classes. Hostel has an in time of 9 pm on week days and 9.30 pm on week ends.

Quite a few seniors have brought in companies for placements for internship and for jobs they are very helpful in reccommending us to the internships we have don so far.

First two semesters were progressively more difficult the third semester eases up a little.1st semester and 2nd semesters have both mid term and end term exams where as 3rd semester has only an end term exam difficult subjects pattern making and garment construction, Plant layout and Design.

Most of the Faculty have hands on industrial experience and can give insights into the industry for those truly interested in the subject the clarity of course curriculum is often unclear between the teachers and the jury examiners good prospects to get contacts in the industry and internships can be provided either by the college or self arranged.
