Nift is a government College and the fee for it is the least compared to the other fashion colleges. I didn't not apply to even a single other college since I thought I'll just give it a try and fortunately I got in in the first go itself. But I did apply for the uceed exam , my score was 50 marks less and I couldn't make it for that exam . The uceed exam was way tricky than the nift entrance. Nift has a simple admiss Process, you apply for the exam. You give the CAT and GAT exams which are scheduled on the same day itself of 2hrs and 3hrs respectively. Cat is the drawing exam and the gat is for the science maths gk social science etc knowledge test.

Admission:

I have applied in many colleges of arts or designing I gave many entrance exams but my focus was on nift because nift is one of the very good college for design and fashion. I choose nift because it was my dream. Yes I didn't get the admission in any other college and the real reason behind that is I didn't prepare myself for that. And for nift I did preparation by my self. Admission process of my college, there will be two exams GAT which is general ability test and CAT which means creative ability test if we qualified we have to give the next exam which is situation test in that test they will give us situations and we make 3d model of that situation. And after qualifying exam we will get admission. For admission we have to submit various forms along with medical fitness.

Admission:

Course is 100% eligible for people who are interested in fashion and have technical background. You can find application form and other details in nift official website. Reservation benefits are definitely available. It provides students opportunity to be in a good college based on reserved seats of their cast. Domicile seats are also available. Detailed information is mentioned in nift official site. Exams happen once a year and it is different for tech and design Student. Bftech and bdesign are 2 options available. For technical students, If you are good in current affairs, English and maths, it won't be that difficult. For design students, there's one additional exam called situation test which tests designing and thinking skills of students. Difficulty level is not high if you are creative. Areas of improvement: I would want that there should be lesser reserved seats so that general students who scored good marks can also get the college of their dreams.
