How is the course curriculum of Bachelor of Design [B.Des] (Fashion Design) in NIFT Kolkata?

Collegedunia Team
Abhishek Soni

I choosed this course because I had an intrusion towards the design field. There are girls to boy ratio of 5:1. The faculty is very good. The teaching method is very good. They teach in the perfect way. Through zoom meeting we even saw the real raw materials towards design which won't be possible in offline mode. The teachers are well qualified even done courses from abroad. The exams are a little tough. Especially the CAT test which is a drawing test where it judges on the basis of creative thinking.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fees structure are fine as it is a design college and usually there are little hike as due to many installations and craft visits and many more. The scholarship is available and students have received 75% to 50% scholarships. Campus jobs are placed for many of the students.

The scholarship name is Sarthak Scholarship and as for the campus job, I am not much aware as I am still in 1 year.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is pretty well built but the faculties can be lazy and ignorant sometimes, they don’t communicate enough and do not give design insights but aesthetic insights and that’s not what design is about
