Is it compulsory to write elementary exams or any other exams (specify if any) to get in NIFT?

Fashion designing is completely a creative field. The more creative you are, the more opportunities, rewards, recognitions you will get. Your passion towards the fashion design will thrive you success in the industry.

NIFT is not compulsory for Fashion Designing but if you are targeting reputed institute to get admission for this programme then you can go for it. There are many other colleges for this programme you can prefer like SYMBIOSIS INSTITUTE OF DESIGN, PUNE, AMITY SCHOOL OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY, VOGUE INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY, BENGALURU etc.

Good Luck!

Hi Chethana,

If you are interested in pursuing fashion design from NIFT only, then you will have to appear in the NIFT written test and qualify in it too. There is no other means to get into the Institute.

Some other institutes offering fashion design are as follows-

• Arch Academy of Design
• Symbiosis Institute of Design 
• Army Institute of Fashion and Design
• Footwear Design and Development Institute
• Pearl Academy of Fashion
• LISAA School of Design
• IMS-Design & Innovation Academy

Hope it helps.
