Remarks

The college is a top-ranked college in terms of architecture. The infrastructure of the college is at par with the standards which should be there in an architecture college. I have many fond memories of the college. The standard of teaching and placements are pretty good.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum was a mixed bag of theoretical learning and overall enhancement of the creative aspects of a person. The students are offered elective subjects out of topics like Theater, Poetry, Critical Thinking, etc. This encourages a healthy exchange of ideas and interactions.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The first-year fee for the UG program is a little shy of 5 lacs Rs which justifies that it is one of the top education service providers in the architectural domain.

Campus Life

Campus life was pretty awesome, literally awesome. One reason being the infrastructure and other being the learning environment. Almost all of my batch-mates were passionately motivated towards the design industry.

Alumni/Alumna

Conduct workshops, industry visits, seminars, provide projects carried out by students and faculty. Active participation is expected from each student in Film Club, Reading club, Weekend lectures and many cultural activities that take place regularly on the campus.

Admission

The admission is on the basis of an entrance exam conducted by the DJ Academy. The entrance exam was the pretty interesting one testing your skills like sketching and coloring etc. I was called for a personal interview after I cleared the entrance exam.

Faculty

3.5

Our college has many qualified and experienced faculty members from the National Institute of Design (NID) and practicing Design Professionals as visiting faculty. The overall standard of teaching is quite good.

Companies like Bata, Puma, Reliance Retail, Adidas, Clarks, etc., have recruited in the past. Internships are also provided,which often convert into job offers.

Bdes industrial design at VIT

Placement Experience:

Thr placements for bdes is not as good as btech ofcourse, which is why a lot of them prefer to apply for it individually as I said, but a good training is given for sitting on placements on our 3rd and 4th year of the course. The minimum cgpa for sitting for placements is 8.5 and as of what I know 9 lakh is the estimated package. I am planning to pursue masters after my degree and in between If I want a break I thought of gaining some work experience by working for an year so. I thought of applying for companies myself instead of sitting for the placements from university itself.

Is VIT a good Place to learn Bachelor of Design (Industrial design)?

Placement Experience:

Since VIT is known for their campus placements , there is no shortage in placements as of now. This year almost all the students who sat for placemennts who had 8 or above CGPA did well with their placements.The topper is also known to get a placemnt of 50 lpa, but he average remains to be 7lpa. Moreover if you have a good cgpa you will get a good internship by third year.Everything depends on the CGAPA that you maintain through your course.70% of students were placed. Iam most probably going to sit for placements if not I hope i will be trained enough to get placements on my own.TCS is known to be giving the most number of placements folllowed by some other industrial ccompanies and startups.

Review of my college

Remarks:

My 4 years at NIFT was utterly an experience! I cant describe it probably in a word but I can say that it has built me as a person, it has thought me how to deal with different people from a worker or an artisan to at CEO or MD of an organisation, it has thought me to be confident at the same time humble. How to work under immense pressure and time constrains. All in all NIFT has acquiped me to take on this world and make my mark with the skills and practices that I learnt in these 4 years.
