The placement process allows students to show their creativity, skills, and knowledge, helping them get the jobs they dream about.
Before finishing their courses, students do internships in real companies. These internships give them hands-on experience and teach them how to work in an office, studio, or factory. During this time, companies watch how students work, and some students even receive Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) for their excellent performance.
When placement season begins, companies visit the NIFT campus to meet students. They review their projects, ask questions, and offer jobs. Some companies also hire students online after the on-campus placements. These placements give NIFT students a great start to their careers and help them work with top fashion and design companies.
