Worth the hard work

Academics

I love the approach design colleges take especially nift. It doesn't let a question paper define a student's worth. Constant redos and scrutiny by the faculty, lets the best come out in us while preparing us for the harsh world.

It's a truly wholesome experience.

Academics

I'm a BFT second year student and the faculties are really helpful. They are really helpless; even in the times of covid they are always there to clear our doubts. The curriculum is up to date and includes all the recent developments.

Outstanding!

The curriculum is up to date and include all the recent developments; it makes me job-ready!
