    Academics

    The curriculum is same in all the campuses and pretty good faculties. They are teaching pretty good they always help students in getting the knowledge they have.. though faculty is a bit inexperienced in new campuses like daman and Srinagar but old campuses are amazing in terms of faculty. They will always be available to help you with internships and assignments.

    College Infra

    Nifts have almost all the facilities. it has amazing infrastructure.. almost all the campuses are completely air conditioned. Wi-Fi and labs are available for all the departments . Girls hostel have amazing facilities too. They have gym,acs ,Wi-Fi, laundary room with fully automatic machines and irons.. mess facility is available in the hostel itself.. thought hostel is at 10 mins walk away from the campus,but the place is beautiful and clean

    Campus Life

    Campus life is amazing though. You will meet a lot of amazing people with very different cultures and you will learn a lot.. nift is one of those campuses where u can be the jack of all trades or the king of one it's completely upon u. We have a lots of competitions and games here.. you can be whatever and however you wanna be ,no one will judge you.

    Placements

    If you are goin to nift ,you must know that to get a placement with good salary you have to work very hard here since day 1, campuses like Delhi and Mumbai are pretty good for that,though the placement is centralised but campus do add some value.. the avg placement is of like 4-5 LPA for starters.

    Value For Money

    Avg money per year will be around 5 LPA and it might look like it's not worth it in the Beginning but with hardwork u can make it work..if your passion is designing you are gonna love it

    Academics

    Basically in initial years we learn the subjects of mixed departments and in the later years we are given specialized knowledge about our own department. It is basically practical based course. But can't say it makes us job ready yet because I'm still learning in the initial year.

    College Infra

    Yes, the institute have most of the equipment which is required in an institute. But in terms of area, it is smaller than many other government institute. For the equipment part, it have various machines and labs for learning new things, some pcs are of older version but mostly function-able. Boys hostel is not at all good in comparison to girls hostel. there might be some technical issues in smart board but they are fine. And hygiene is properly maintained in campus.

    Campus Life

    As it is a practical course we engage ourselves in various machines and equipment and also visit various shops and marketing places to get the real knowledge. Sports and cultural activities are promoted in our college. During the exam week it become very hectic to submit various assignments and work at the same time.

    Placements

    Well, in the course we have to take internship in various firms which also helps in getting placements. And the institute offers a centralised placements which also helps in giving fair opportunity to everyone.

    Value For Money

    It demands a huge sum of money even after being a government college. And the students have to buy other materials for their work on their own which is really unfair after taking a lot of money already.
