National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT)
Established in 1986, due to the rising demand for professional expertise in the burgeoning export industry of India, the National Institute of Fashion Technology initiated and backed by the Ministry of Textile, Government of India, a never-ending era of innovation in the field of the rag trade was started. To match and tackle the global trading scenario, the standard of education given to the potential leaders of fashion, textile, and lifestyle sectors, was set high in the initial days and since then the quality bar has just kept getting higher and higher.
After becoming a statutory body in 2006 under the Act of Parliament, authorizing the institute to award degrees and other academic distinctions, the establishment became a renowned platform for fabricating technically trained candidates for leading the entire value chain of design and fashion with grace and grandeur.
Fashion and textile is a highly dynamic industry. NIFT fully acknowledges this and therefore, always keeps introducing and upgrading its curriculum according to the market requirements. Due to this, the students are successfully able to emerge as the top experts in their respective fields.
The focal point in most of the student’s ethical syllabus is inclined towards respecting the ever so monumental Indian heritage and extract inspiration from our daily way of life, traditional arts, and indigenous handicrafts. Through this, the class of leaders produced by NIFT is optimistically able to influence the world with impactful work. Designing is a playfield that requires one to be agile in grasping the colors from mundane life and creating a palette out of them to fill in a collection, whether be it of clothing or textile, that is unique in nature and breathtaking in look. The students of NIFT are well trained in this and know how to synergize the richness of Indian culture with the threads of a canvas or a dress and produce something awe-inspiring and trend-setting.
Apart from awakening the natural innovation inside the students, the project-based courses concentrate on evolving soft skills like modeling collaborations, negotiations, sensitivity, and an in-depth understanding of humanities, artisans, environment, and market so that the students are able to not only have great ideas but also have the confidence to communicate and execute them.
