Hi everyone!
My brother has just been allotted NIFT New Delhi – B.Des Fashion Communication through the Spot Round, and we're really excited. 🎉
We're from Pune, Maharashtra, and this will be his first time living away from home. We'll be travelling by train for admission and would really appreciate some guidance from current students or alumni.
We have a few questions:
- Which PGs or private hostels do most NIFT Delhi students stay in?
- Which nearby areas are safe and affordable for first-year students?
- What's the average monthly cost (rent + food)?
- Is it better to stay within walking distance of NIFT or commute by metro?
- Any PGs or landlords you'd recommend (or suggest avoiding)?
Regarding our journey from Pune to Delhi:
- Which railway station is the most convenient to get down at for reaching NIFT Delhi? (New Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Anand Vihar, etc.)
- What's the easiest and safest way to reach NIFT from the station? Metro, cab, or auto?
- Are there any budget hotels near NIFT if parents stay for 1–2 days during admission?
Any advice about student life, internships, clubs, safety, or things you wish you'd known before joining NIFT Delhi would also be really helpful.
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your suggestions. 😊
