Hi Friends,
The curriculum for Textile Design at NIFT gives students plenty of possibilities to experiment, create, and innovate with materials. The curriculum expands on the blending of design creativity and textile technology while also keeping in mind the historical, social, and cultural settings in which contemporary designers operate. Learning specialized software is also encouraged in order to explore digital and non-traditional approaches to design, fabric structures, and surfaces. Through the craft cluster project, students are also exposed to a craft environment, which increases their awareness of conventional methods. The graduation projects that the textile design students do in their final year are funded by textile mills, export companies, retail clothing, and home brands, designers, and non-profit organizations, or they are self-funded.
The program prepares students for a variety of careers in the textile and fashion industry, including working for textile mills, export houses, buying agencies, design studios, cooperatives for handloom and handicraft products, NGOs, retail brands for home and apparel, as well as online retailers, as designers, merchandisers, buyers, managers, home/fashion stylists, and trend forecasters, or working independently as entrepreneurs. Some of the alumni have gone on to become prosperous entrepreneurs who have established trends and made significant advancements in the fashion industry.
Therefore, you see, you will get various opinions on which of the NIFT campus is best suited for textile design, and the majority will be NIFT Delhi, and NIFT Mumbai.
But in my opinion, all of the NIFT campuses are well equipped with the infrastructure and amenities to provide the best training facility irrespective of the campus.
Yes, of course, I must add here that, the campus at the first place should be providing the particular course program, depending on the seat intake, and the availability of seats.
Therefore, you should go through the NIFT current year prospectus and look up the courses and seat availability for that particular course you are looking forward to.
