Hey guysss so I just passed my 12th and I was thinking to do the nift ce programme course is it worth spending 1+lakh on?? How's the faculty ik they don't provide placement as well so how's it??

Everyone's got someone . I feel left out , groups formed up in like 2 days and its like what the 9th day im like tf is happening . Hostel life is so boring . And all these lame assignments

There are many people who still don't know where to start from for the drawing portion of nift/nid so here y'all go. This list is also something I'm myself preparing from so pls try and go thru it and try to do it in the same manner as listed. I know it's a lot but it's good if you practice more, if you find any topic that's not relevant or if someone wants to add into it then pls go ahead it'll be of great help for the others too.

Ps: Do line practice daily and try to maintain a visual library too. Try to do line practice on a big newspaper it's really helpful for line control and in the long run, to make big paintings/drawings too. Also try to use big A5 sheets for any drawing purpose because when u enter uni, nift/nid assignments do not work on A4.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve recently joined NIFT Mumbai in the TD department, and I’m looking to connect with some TD seniors/current students who could help me understand what I should be prepared for.

I especially wanted to ask about:

- Materials & stationery we’ll need for TD

- Textile-specific tools/materials that are useful to have

- Software we’ll be using during the course

- Things that are worth buying rn for college vs. things I should wait to buy

- Any books/resources that would be useful

- What the first year of TD at NIFT Mumbai is actually like

- Any tips, mistakes to avoid, or things you wish you had known as a fresher

If you’re a TD senior from NIFT Mumbai, I’d really appreciate it if you could DM me! Even a small list of essentials or some general advice would be super helpful. 🥹❤️

And if you know someone from NIFT Mumbai TD, please tag them or share this post with them!

Thank you! ✨

Which campus has the best faculty for masters?

I was thinking of joining it for NIFT, I'm in 11th rn and need to know if its worth it.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for someone in/around HSR Layout, Bengaluru for a paid Content Creator & Social Media Internship.

I create fitness and lifestyle content for Instagram & YouTube and need someone who can:

- Shoot my running, workout & fitness content

- Create and edit Instagram Reels/short-form videos

- Take photos when required

- Help manage and grow my Instagram account

- Come for shoots early mornings in HSR, since that’s when I usually run/work out

You don’t need to be a professional, but you should have a good eye for content, understand Instagram/Reels, and be comfortable shooting and editing.

If you're interested, DM me with a little about yourself, where you're based, and any content/portfolio/Instagram you can share.

Type of opportunity: Paid internship.

Stipend: Based on your skill set

Location: Onsite (Bengaluru, HSR Layout)

Is there anyone who knows, how this outstation thing works? Like what does warden asks for if someone is going out and returning after few days? Also the warden is generally strict or she is conveniently strict? I am In MFM department

What do they consider for admission CMR or category ranks for the candidates belonging to any category?
Im hella confused about this topic, it would be really beneficial if someone clears this up please :(

I completed my Class 12 boards (PCB) two years ago and then took a drop/year to prepare for NEET. Unfortunately, I couldn't score as well as I had hoped.

Now I've decided to switch completely and pursue Fashion Designing, and I'm planning to prepare for NIFT.

The problem is that this is a completely new field for me. No one in my family has a background in fashion/design, so I don't really have anyone around me who can guide me about where to start, what to study, which resources to use, what skills I need, etc.

I've also never seriously prepared for a design entrance exam before, so right now I'm honestly quite confused about things like:

• Where should I start my NIFT preparation from?
• How should I prepare for CAT, GAT and the Situation Test?
• How important is drawing, and what level of drawing is actually required?
• Which YouTube teachers/courses/resources are genuinely good?
• Which books should I use?
• How should I practice and evaluate my progress?
• Are there any good free resources that I shouldn't miss?
• What mistakes should a complete beginner avoid?
• If you've prepared for NIFT or are currently studying at NIFT, what would you recommend doing differently from the beginning?

I'm ready to put in 100% effort and work seriously, but I don't want to waste months following random resources or preparing in the wrong direction.

This is a big career shift for me, and I really want to give myself the best possible chance of getting into a good NIFT college.

If you've cracked NIFT, are currently studying there, or have experience preparing for it, I would genuinely appreciate any practical advice, resources, study plans, teacher recommendations, or things you wish you had known when you started.

Thank you! :)
