Hi Mugunthan,
NIFT has 3 aptitude tests- General Aptitude Test (GAT), Creative Aptitude Test (CAT) and concludes with a Situation Test (ST). The total marks calculated by this set of tests gives you a rank which can help you get your desired course.
Go to http://www.nift.ac.in/ to learn about the courses and for the forms to come out.
To prepare for the entrance, you will have to work on your sketching and various concepts coupled with the basic English, Math, GK and Logic aptitude, etc. Please refer to online papers or books that will help you in preparing for the entrance. Revert back for more queries.

Hello Dharmishtha,
Of course, you can, but before embarking on Master's degree, you will have to complete your graduation. That's all. With an increase in population and awareness about grooming, I feel it's the best course that you are thinking of.

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.

The course can help you became a stylist and works with magazines, movies as a costume designer, visual merchandiser for various brands, image consultant and trend forecaster for companies like Promostyl, WGSN. If you still have questions, you can call up the knitwear department of NIFT, Mumbai. They will guide you and help you apply for the course.

Getting admission through general quota with this rank is a little hard. However, with your OBC rank you will easily get admission in MFM in any of the NIFT centers. If it doesn't work, you can try for an NRI seat. Call the college before hand and ask them about NRI seats.
