You have given your best in the NIFT entrance examination, patiently waiting to know your results and now here you are peering at a score card, which is not within the passing mark. Calm down, breathe deeply. Failure to pass NIFT is not the end of your dream as a designer. As a matter of fact, it is only a single chapter of a very big story.
What is NIFT?
National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) is the pride of India in terms of fashion and design institutes, which was founded in the year 1986 under the power of the Ministry of Textiles. NIFT has 19 campuses in the nation and is renowned across the country due to its sensational courses in fashion design, technology as well as in management. The entrance exam of NIFT is very competitive and both creative and general skills are tested and only a few of them pass the exam every year.
Passing NIFT is a milestone, but failing in the same is too! A door closes so the other can open. Not passing NIFT does not mean that you cannot become a creative genius. Design is a big world and there are many more doors opened to you or perhaps just for you.
Each year thousands of students take NIFT to get admission to the courses such as B.Des, B.FTech and M.Des and so on. The result is announced on the internet and among the available few seats in NIFT campuses, only the high scorers are allowed. In case you did not get it, it should cheer you up that a large number of very successful designers and creative people have developed their way past NIFT.
Failed NIFT? Here is What You Can Do Next
- Other Top Design Entrance Exams
NIFT is not the only source of access to a good design career. The latest All India Design Aptitude Test ( AIDAT ) is something to consider. NID DAT and UCEED are among the top national level design entrance tests of India. AIDAT is adopted in most of the leading design schools and colleges, and it is skill-based, creativity-based, and aptitude-based-which is the same case with NIFT.
- Explore Top Private Design Universities
A diverse ecosystem of privately owned universities with world-class design education is found in India. Most of them accept AIDAT scores, or they run their own entrance exams. The following are the best private universities in your consideration:
- MIT Pune
- Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Bengaluru
- UPES School of design, Dehradun
- Pearl Academy Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur
- World University of Design ( WUD ), Sonepat
- Unitedworld Institute of Design (UID), Ahmedabad
- Lovely Professional University (LPU)
- Vellore VIT School of Design
- Amity school of fashion technology
All these institutes provide B.Des, M.Des and diploma courses in such fields as fashion design, communication design, product design, animation, interior design, and much more. Most of them have good ties with industries, overseas tie ups and good placement records.
- Develop Your Talent and Projects
Your creative portfolio is important whether you do your application through AIDAT or to the individual universities to the private universities. This is your time to do some drawing, computer design, portfolio building or any other medium that presents your own style. Engage in online design challenges, workshops, and internships to increase your capabilities and confidence.
- Stay updated
The design industry is not obsolete, new opportunities appear on the spot. Note down application deadlines, scholarships, and entrance exam dates on the university websites, design forums and social media.
- Consider Alternative paths
Design is a field with a lot of opportunities that can’t be grasped with just a single exam or a course. There are alternative paths like opting for diploma courses, attending workshops or doing short-duration courses from platforms like Udemy, Learn vearn, etc.
- Network with People In the Field
The best way to find out what is good for you or aligns with your interest is through talking to real people. In today’s era, person to person consultation is something gen z is avoiding, and this is where the chances of going wrong increases. Connect with students or professionals in the design field that interests you and get all the valuable insights and know what are the opportunities.
Design does not only mean fashion or sketching. It is not about fashion but rather solving problems, coming up with innovation and having an actual impact, be it designing clothes, apps, buildings or brands. The scale of the Indian design industry is rapidly expanding and talented designers are being sought up in fields such as fashion, technology, advertisement, film, games etc.
Not getting selected in NIFT is only a bump on the road, not a speed barrier. Your dream design career is closer than you think, especially through AIDAT that will help you secure a seat in the top private universities in India. Always concentrate on what you are good at, continue pursuing what you are passionate about, and never forget that creativity can never be denied!
