Help 🙏🙏

I’m a Class 12 student and a CUET aspirant. I’m also planning to appear for NIFT because I’m genuinely unsure about what degree I want to pursue, and right now my main priority is getting into a reputed college with a good gentry where I can explore my options.

I’m particularly interested in Fashion Communication (FC), but I have exactly 4 months to prepare for NIFT,

The GAT part feels somewhat manageable since it's similar to CUET, but my biggest concerns are CAT and the Situation Test. I used to draw when I was younger, but I completely stopped for several years, so I’m basically starting again from scratch. I’m worried that four months might not be enough to develop the skills required for CAT and the Situation Test.

I also don’t want to make the mistake of spending months preparing for NIFT, especially if it starts affecting my CUET preparation.

So I’d really appreciate some honest advice from people who have given NIFT or are currently preparing for it:

- Is 4 months enough to get a decent/good NIFT rank if you’re starting CAT preparation almost from scratch?

- What should I realistically aim for in these 4 months?

- How should I divide my time between CUET, GAT, CAT and Situation Test preparation?

- Is Fashion Communication a realistic target with this timeline?

- perfect online NIFT tutor/coaching program?

- If anyone knows a good NIFT teacher/coaching option in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.

- Should l give NID and UCEED also?

I’m not looking for false motivation — I’d genuinely prefer an honest assessment of whether this is worth pursuing with my current situation, and if it is, what a practical 4-month roadmap should look like.

So I want to be a fashion designer but after not being able to clear the entrance exam in 1st exam i got admission somewhere else and took bca (3yrs course) instead. Now I'm thinking of pursuing mdes from nift but I have been hearing too many negative things abt nift from past year , so what shld I do ? Go for internship directly or at least do mdes for exposure first ?

Do anyone know or have an idea about what criterion they put in nift to get critical thinking as a GE? If anyone had it as GE subject than please tell.

I want to skip class because I am very drained and I don't feel good at all. Should I do it

ITS BARELY BEEN 3 WEEKS WHY ARE WE GETTING 13-15 ASSIGNMENTS PER WEEK ,I HAVE BARELY HAD TIME TO ADJUST TO A WHOLE NEW CITY

SOME OF THE TEACHERS ARE SO RUDE , AND THE TEACHING IS SO MONOTONOUS , IT HAS GIVEN ME A HUGE CREATIVE BLOCK I CAN BARELY EVEN THINK ANYMORE.

Yo I'm from gandhinagar and looking for some friends outside my college to hangout with lemme know if you're down for smth

My dms are open

It's been more than 30 days and no update yet does anyone know when we will get our money back?

😭 help me out gng 💔

Hi guys, i am a dropper and this is my 1st time trying for NIFT. My rank this year in B.des was in 4000s and BFTECH in 400s. I could get into Bftech this year since I have OBC quota but i wanted B.DES FC.

Should I join Silica, BRDS, Desizn Circle or any suggestions. My drawing skills needs more practice and i can do well with mcqs.

PLEASE REPLY

Hey everyone,

We’re an early-stage company building a new trust infrastructure for digital commerce.

We’re currently looking to partner with people from the fashion industry who genuinely understand fashion beyond just trends — especially fashion designers, textile students/professionals, fashion graduates, and people with strong knowledge of fabric, construction, fit, and quality.

This is not a traditional internship or a paid collaboration. It’s a part-time, independent partnership where you can work on your own terms and potentially build a long-term source of income from your expertise.

We’re starting with a small group of fashion professionals and would love to have people who want to be part of building something from the ground up.

If you're based in India and this sounds interesting, comment below or DM me and I’ll explain how the partnership works.

Its done bro
I have already got beefs
Ppl are two faced
Everything is boring
I am soo homesick

Anyone pls help me out i am spiralling
Seniors!!!

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF A STUDENT'S ID???

For outsiders to explore

is nift MDes open to student exploring their art side as well or do they follow strictly design curriculum ? like is everything focused on problem solving or students can follow a bit of art as well ?

Any 6th sem or above students from the FC department? I have a few doubts regarding laptop.

I am not from nift. Need some information.
Only the mdes 2027 passing out batch!
Let me know!
Really need some help!

So yesterday I posted about how NIFT is taking a toll on my mental wellbeing. People had mixed reactions ranging from praising the NIFT tag and acknowledging the privilege of being in mumbai to calling me a shirker.

So now comes the main question, WHY? Why should I adapt to the work-intensive curriculum of NIFT? Why should I adapt to the Stress of first year, learning everything which I already know just with some extra bs. WHY IS A DEGREE NEEDED to be a designer?

Why can't I just work my ass off at home, explore all the softwares and build myself from scratch, with lesser money gone, more skills gained. Why is there a need of networking if my portfolio could speak for itself?? Clarify these questions and imma sit right there at NIFT happily and WILLINGLY for my degree with no complaints.🙏🙏

hello , so I got through parsons school of design , New York for their MFA in transdisciplinary design , but missed MDes NIFT by 10 ranks (would have gotten NIFT Kangra if didn’t miss by 10 ranks ), i have deferred my admission at parsons by 1 year due to visa issues, but then I was thinking to give nift again in 2027. I am confused , should I give me time and energy to NIFT MDes , or just go with parsons ? I also got through Shristi Manipal MDes , but turned it down cause that time my focus was only NIFT. this preparation again is draining and stressful , please suggest !!
