    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!
