1460 strenuous yet totally worth it days of a so called 'adult'. .
Placements: Placement offers given by the college or the department are very poor. They do not provide you with much aid. However, majority of the population opts out of this and prefers looking for their own thing so at to satisfy their wants in a better way. The teachers tend to help out in certain cases but that solely depends on favouritism.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good because the college provides us with a lot of labs and classrooms that are well maintained with up to date gadgets. The college also provides the kids with a grand resources centre, it is like an ocean of books right from current day fashion to art history, you name it and they have it.
Faculty: The curriculum is very vast, and I would definitely say that this college has helped me greatly in gaining a lot of knowledge regrading the various fields I would have to deal with in near future. Certain set of teachers are very helpful and coporative and wish for the betterment of the students but certain teachers have a different approach to teaching all together. They neglect them and even consider teaching a burden at times.
Other: Our has an early fest and all the students are pretty enthusiastic about it because there are multiple events going on at the same time where people get to explore and showcase their various talents.

Good placements and infrastructure.
Placements: The placements of last year were very decent in which packages were going as high as 16 LPA, and the average students were easily able to get around 7-8 LPA placement. Firms from other countries have also visited for the internship, and mostly all the students have got a pretty decent job.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good, and the college has Wi-Fi facilities for the students and well-designed computer labs which can be accessed anytime. There is a library. Also, there is a hospital connected to the college by insurance basis, and for sports, it has a ground and tennis court.
Faculty: Teachers are very well qualified, and they are always willing to help the students. If the students do not understand anything, they help a lot, and for some special classes, teachers from other places are also called. Then, in the 3rd-year, industry exposure is given.
Other: Spectrum and other functions as well are held.

What a fashion school looks like?
Placements: The placements are good. A lot of companies from fashion industry as well as the film industry, visit for placement. 12 lakhs per annum was the highest package offered and 2 lakhs per annum was the lowest. Brands like Lifestyle, Chemistry, Arvind Mills, Being Human, etc. came for recruitment. Everyone got an internship in the 3rd year since it is compulsory. The stipend offered was a maximum of 12k per month. Some students did not get a stipend.
Infrastructure: The whole campus has Wi-Fi. We have a garment construction lab, a photography lab, a visual merchandising lab, a chemistry lab etc. The college has the best labs and the class rooms, with centralized air conditioning system. The canteen is nice with cheap food and the food quality is okay. The boys' hostel is okay but the girls' hostel has good facilities.
Faculty: The faculty members are very helpful, creative and knowledgeable. The teaching methods are unique and not at all boring. We have class related activities too. The student to faculty ratio is 30:1. We always go on industrial visits. The curriculum was very useful. We have faculty members from different industries like styling, photography, fashion designers etc. Wendell Rodricks also visited our college.

There is no standard 'International exam' for fashion designing. You need to apply for each school separately. Schools usually require an essay and portfolio. This process starts in November itself.

Hi Seema, According to last year's cut off, OBC rank 611 got the last seat of Fashion Design department in NIFT, Delhi and OBC rank 961 got the last seat of Fashion Communication department in NIFT, Mumbai. So with an OBC rank 612, you can try for FC but it will be tough for FD.
