NIFT Bhubaneshwar Placement 2026: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

The placement scenario at NIFT has shown mixed results in recent years. The overall placement rate has seen a decline, with the 2019 batch recording a drastic drop to 37%. However, there are still significant opportunities as many students secure jobs through off-campus drives. In the 2022-23 cycle, the highest on-campus package was 19 LPA, while off-campus offers reached up to 22 LPA, with an average package of 7 LPA.

The institution mandates internships as part of its curriculum, with a near 100% internship placement rate in prominent companies like Shahi Exports and FLF Bangalore. Students often receive pre-placement offers (PPOs) during their internships. Well-known brands such as Amazon, Flipkart, Google, and Aditya Birla frequently participate in recruitment, with roles in design, graphics, and more. The highest package reported to date is 12 LPA, while the average package ranges from 3 to 5 LPA.

Despite challenges, NIFT provides substantial industrial exposure and opportunities for students to develop their portfolios, which are crucial for securing placements.

Life at NIFT

Students become eligible for the CPUs placements after their graduation projects in the 8th semester. Most of the students take Pre-placement opportunities (PPO) from the respective companies they've been doing their Graduation Projects with only and the rest are allowed to go for Placement interviews. It all depends upon the skillset they have and their portfolios. The average package goes for about 6-15 lakh per annum. 7 out of 10 students get placed every year. Most of the students go for jobs for the first 2 years and then look for masters while others do masters right after their graduation from reputed universities and then begin their career. But NIFT provides enough facilities and opportunities to explore and grow as a person as well as industry visualization.

If you're a Design aspirant, All you need to know about NIFT

Students are provided an internship programme in their final year. Based on their performance, sometimes students get jobs in their intership companies. However, at the final semester, they get a chance to sit in campus placement in NIFT campuses like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata etc. Yes students from all over the Campuses go to these particular Campuses where various companies come for placements. Brands like adidas, lifestyles,park Avenue, nike, blackberry, Monte Carlo,h&m, future group, Sabyasachi etc. visit for campus placement.The average package students got is 3-5 lakh per annum. The highest package to date is 12 lakh. 100% student placement is possible if all the students are sincere at their works. Students get placed based on their portfolios. But one must need a minimum cgpa for attending campus placement. Well, honestly I'm working hard to get placement in well known brands like h&m,Sabyasachi,Tarun Tahiliani etc. I wanted minimum of 3 years experience then I'll go for start-up

Anonymous's Review On National Institute Of Fashion Technology - [NIFT] Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar

NIFT has a common placement schedule for all the 16 campuses at the selected venues of NIFT where companies register for campus placements offering job vacancies. There was a time when NIFT had 100% placement record but it is facing significant drop in campus placements in recent years. In 2019 the placement record fell drastically to 37%. This is perhaps due to the increasing no. of campuses and competition. But a huge no. of students get placed through off campus drives as well. Well, I am speaking from my personal experience, there is nothing to get disheartened if anyone fails to crack a job during the placements. In our batch (2015-19), only 3 students from our department were placed during the placements. But today, all my batch-mates are successfully placed and are working with the leading brands in India.

My choice was perfect for this college

For us yet now the placement has not been decided because it's been one year of our college and it's been covid so the placements are stopped for now but it will start over the second year of our campus life where the first years are basically foundation course where we study the basics of every single design access energy is taken place so that we have to pass with flying colors and the second year is where we are being designers and train under a designer

Not sure about overall NIFT FD students but my batch had less than 50% placement. Highest offered by shahi and myntra went to 30k in hand. Assistant designer, illustrator, graphics are the key roles offered. The internship was 100% and in major companies across India like Shahi exports Faridabad and Bangalore, FLF Bangalore and many more of these strata like Paramount export Delhi etc.
