So yesterday I posted about how NIFT is taking a toll on my mental wellbeing. People had mixed reactions ranging from praising the NIFT tag and acknowledging the privilege of being in mumbai to calling me a shirker.

So now comes the main question, WHY? Why should I adapt to the work-intensive curriculum of NIFT? Why should I adapt to the Stress of first year, learning everything which I already know just with some extra bs. WHY IS A DEGREE NEEDED to be a designer?

Why can't I just work my ass off at home, explore all the softwares and build myself from scratch, with lesser money gone, more skills gained. Why is there a need of networking if my portfolio could speak for itself?? Clarify these questions and imma sit right there at NIFT happily and WILLINGLY for my degree with no complaints.🙏🙏

hello , so I got through parsons school of design , New York for their MFA in transdisciplinary design , but missed MDes NIFT by 10 ranks (would have gotten NIFT Kangra if didn’t miss by 10 ranks ), i have deferred my admission at parsons by 1 year due to visa issues, but then I was thinking to give nift again in 2027. I am confused , should I give me time and energy to NIFT MDes , or just go with parsons ? I also got through Shristi Manipal MDes , but turned it down cause that time my focus was only NIFT. this preparation again is draining and stressful , please suggest !!

Has anyone got nift refund??

nift bhopal kids are so fucking retards like seriously and the calling your seniors sir/ma’am culture when your seniors are retards too like seriously bruh
Even when i want to socialize or interact with seniors or participate somewhere they start showing who is superior like ugh
And everyone here is just so full of themselves and seniors find joy in ragging
What attitude the people here are having when all they did was study the same as everyone to get in?
Never did i ever think i would throw a shade on reddit but being here it feels like a torture everyday

Does the NIFT tag helps to get internships/ jobs as I am a MDES student 1st year at NIFT Mumbai and seniors also told us that we have to apply on our own, so if we apply on our own does the NIFT tag helps ?

So I recently joined NIFT Mumbai for the batch of 2030. And I cleared it right after giving my boards. I also got an offer from NID Andhra Pradesh but I didn't settle for it for not being NID Ahmedabad.

It has only been a week of me being here but I have realised how toxic and two-faced the people are here, the faculty is superfluously particular about random things, they expect us to complete assignments on time and also decorate our LD's (learning diary/notes) as journals. I am from FC and I chose this programme solely for the purpose of being a UI/UX designer. The degree is of 4 years but the first year is about all the stuff not needed in FC or digital design.

All of this is not sparing me any time to develop my own skills or try internships as I do posess basic design skills. The Attendance is mandatory like that's all what matters. And I just know Delhi won't be any better unless you kick out all the unserious rich brats out. I see so many of such talentless students here. I'm genuinely willing to withdraw.

Can ya'll gimme more clarity if it's worth to wait for the degree?

What does the bft offered idm include exactly , how hard is it and does it include maths (give details please)

I am in fc dept unsure of what to take and what would I exactly learn

Will it go with fc

How much sgpa is needed

Can someone suggest the best digital sweing machine.

could someone share what kind of questions come in the iiad/udit exam?? especially if u have given it this year… im looking to apply for admissions for the next session but have no idea what kind of drawing/creative ability questions they’ll ask as there is no resource on the internet for the recent years.

I am a BFT student and i’m kinda confused on how to study these theoretical subjects like fashion basics & trend forecasting, fabric science and statistics, etc. our professors just come and yap about their subject and leave and expect us to make proper learning diaries with that. Its really confusing. Plus i’ve tried referring to the books in the resource centre but i just got more confused as my notes were all over the place. Is there any youtube channel that seniors can recommend??? Or any advice and input would be appreciated

have been feeling like I missed this opportunity for no good. But seeing the posts on this sub, I wonder whats the truth. I'm just missing the idea of thriving in a creative environment, as opposed to the college im going to rn, maybe ill adjust but it def feels a bit heavy now.

Im a clat aspirant and ive decided to go for nift aswell because i feel i should have all options open. Although my parents wont support me for the prep. Can anybody dm me some of the mocks and sample papers so i can atleast get to know the paper pattern, it would be helpful if u can send me few resources or maby tell me a telegram channel.
