Help 🙏🙏

I’m a Class 12 student and a CUET aspirant. I’m also planning to appear for NIFT because I’m genuinely unsure about what degree I want to pursue, and right now my main priority is getting into a reputed college with a good gentry where I can explore my options.

I’m particularly interested in Fashion Communication (FC), but I have exactly 4 months to prepare for NIFT,

The GAT part feels somewhat manageable since it's similar to CUET, but my biggest concerns are CAT and the Situation Test. I used to draw when I was younger, but I completely stopped for several years, so I’m basically starting again from scratch. I’m worried that four months might not be enough to develop the skills required for CAT and the Situation Test.

I also don’t want to make the mistake of spending months preparing for NIFT, especially if it starts affecting my CUET preparation.

So I’d really appreciate some honest advice from people who have given NIFT or are currently preparing for it:

- Is 4 months enough to get a decent/good NIFT rank if you’re starting CAT preparation almost from scratch?

- What should I realistically aim for in these 4 months?

- How should I divide my time between CUET, GAT, CAT and Situation Test preparation?

- Is Fashion Communication a realistic target with this timeline?

- perfect online NIFT tutor/coaching program?

- If anyone knows a good NIFT teacher/coaching option in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.

- Should l give NID and UCEED also?

I’m not looking for false motivation — I’d genuinely prefer an honest assessment of whether this is worth pursuing with my current situation, and if it is, what a practical 4-month roadmap should look like.

I want to skip class because I am very drained and I don't feel good at all. Should I do it

I skipped one last week because I was very sick and today I am very drained mentally and anxious. Is it ok if I take a 1 day break to recollect myself? I feel soo guilty and weird doing this but I feel like I need this

ITS BARELY BEEN 3 WEEKS WHY ARE WE GETTING 13-15 ASSIGNMENTS PER WEEK ,I HAVE BARELY HAD TIME TO ADJUST TO A WHOLE NEW CITY

SOME OF THE TEACHERS ARE SO RUDE , AND THE TEACHING IS SO MONOTONOUS , IT HAS GIVEN ME A HUGE CREATIVE BLOCK I CAN BARELY EVEN THINK ANYMORE.

Hi guys, i am a dropper and this is my 1st time trying for NIFT. My rank this year in B.des was in 4000s and BFTECH in 400s. I could get into Bftech this year since I have OBC quota but i wanted B.DES FC.

Should I join Silica, BRDS, Desizn Circle or any suggestions. My drawing skills needs more practice and i can do well with mcqs.

PLEASE REPLY

Ppl are two faced
Everything is boring
I am soo homesick

Anyone pls help me out i am spiralling
Seniors!!!

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF A STUDENT'S ID???

hello , so I got through parsons school of design , New York for their MFA in transdisciplinary design , but missed MDes NIFT by 10 ranks (would have gotten NIFT Kangra if didn’t miss by 10 ranks ), i have deferred my admission at parsons by 1 year due to visa issues, but then I was thinking to give nift again in 2027. I am confused , should I give me time and energy to NIFT MDes , or just go with parsons ? I also got through Shristi Manipal MDes , but turned it down cause that time my focus was only NIFT. this preparation again is draining and stressful , please suggest !!

Does the NIFT tag helps to get internships/ jobs as I am a MDES student 1st year at NIFT Mumbai and seniors also told us that we have to apply on our own, so if we apply on our own does the NIFT tag helps ?

So yesterday I posted about how NIFT is taking a toll on my mental wellbeing. People had mixed reactions ranging from praising the NIFT tag and acknowledging the privilege of being in mumbai to calling me a shirker.

So now comes the main question, WHY? Why should I adapt to the work-intensive curriculum of NIFT? Why should I adapt to the Stress of first year, learning everything which I already know just with some extra bs. WHY IS A DEGREE NEEDED to be a designer?

Why can't I just work my ass off at home, explore all the softwares and build myself from scratch, with lesser money gone, more skills gained. Why is there a need of networking if my portfolio could speak for itself?? Clarify these questions and imma sit right there at NIFT happily and WILLINGLY for my degree with no complaints.🙏🙏

So I recently joined NIFT Mumbai for the batch of 2030. And I cleared it right after giving my boards. I also got an offer from NID Andhra Pradesh but I didn't settle for it for not being NID Ahmedabad.

It has only been a week of me being here but I have realised how toxic and two-faced the people are here, the faculty is superfluously particular about random things, they expect us to complete assignments on time and also decorate our LD's (learning diary/notes) as journals. I am from FC and I chose this programme solely for the purpose of being a UI/UX designer. The degree is of 4 years but the first year is about all the stuff not needed in FC or digital design.

All of this is not sparing me any time to develop my own skills or try internships as I do posess basic design skills. The Attendance is mandatory like that's all what matters. And I just know Delhi won't be any better unless you kick out all the unserious rich brats out. I see so many of such talentless students here. I'm genuinely willing to withdraw.

Can ya'll gimme more clarity if it's worth to wait for the degree?

nift bhopal kids are so fucking retards like seriously and the calling your seniors sir/ma’am culture when your seniors are retards too like seriously bruh
Even when i want to socialize or interact with seniors or participate somewhere they start showing who is superior like ugh
And everyone here is just so full of themselves and seniors find joy in ragging
What attitude the people here are having when all they did was study the same as everyone to get in?
Never did i ever think i would throw a shade on reddit but being here it feels like a torture everyday
