National Institute of Fashion Technology Kolkata Salt Lake City Answered Questions

The best way to prepare for NIFT is self-study. Talk to any of the senior there, and ask for the appropriate study material and buy those books and start studying on your own and side by side with it go for drawing practice. A lot of practice is needed to crack NIFT. All the best.

It will cover the technical requirement and you will have an understanding of fashion design. However, I'd suggest talking to your professors and seeing if the course fulfills all your requirements. However, if you do a Diploma/degree program you will have better job/internship prospects while will in turn allow you to learn more.
