All About NIFT Master of Design (M.Des.) Program - A discussion with Aatmika (NIFT Mumbai 2018-20)

Hey Guys!
Welcome to another video
Hope you all are doing good!
M.Des. program which stands for Master of Design is a full time 2 years Postgraduate program in Design offered by National Institute of Fashion Technology. It caters to the multi-disciplinary and dynamic nature of job profiles that seek professionals who can work in versatile environments. This course builds its specializations based on the foundation of Design Thinking and Research Practice.
There is not much knowledge and guidance available on the internet and other portals regarding this course which makes it difficult for the graduates to decide whether they should pursue this course or not.
Hence, I collaborated with a good friend of mine - Aatmika A. to make this video giving insights on this program. Aatmika is an M.Des. passout from NIFT Mumbai (Batch 2018-20) and hence, I thought it would be great to have her giving some interesting insights about this program so that collectively we both can help out the new students in guiding them so that they can take an informed decision.

I am going to give my final attempt for NIFT MFM this year, as last year I got NIFT Srinagar. hope will get a good campus this year.

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

All the best Aditya, let me know if you need any help or support.

@@rishabhmalhotra1065 Hi Rishabh, I got Rank 375 in MFM. I am from the General category which campus could I possibly get? Could you please help

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

@@adityajai.n Based on previous years data, you will be able to get campuses other than the Top 5 like Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Gandhinagar. Chances for these are very low. All the best!

[@Rishh05]

HIII can you please suggest the best campuses for MFM as there is no such information regarding mfm counselling process in YT and it will be really helpful if you can give your opinions and suggestions.

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Hey sure! All the campuses that offers MFM course are good. However, in terms of faculties, crowd, campus environment and few other aspects, you can consider the campus rankings as follows - 1. NIFT Delhi 2. NIFT Bangalore 3. NIFT Mumbai 4. NIFT Gandhinagar 5. NIFT Hyderabad 6. NIFT Chennai 7. NIFT Kolkata 8. NIFT Bhubneshwar 9. NIFT Patna 10. NIFT Bhopal 11. NIFT Kannur 12. NIFT Raibareli 13. NIFT Panchkula The old campuses are better and valued more in the industry in comparison to the newer campuses. However, the placements are centralised.

[@Rishh05]

@@rishabhmalhotra1065 thank you so much for your help!!! My CMR is 568 in Open category will I get a seat ? Also does locality or the exposure of city really matters during the degree ?

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

@@Rishh05 Yes, I suppose there are chances that you’ll get a campus but it would be either Kannur or Raibareli or Panchkula. Please check last year data on the NIFT website. Which campus students got at your rank. Also, the locality only matters for students who give much importance to their living experience. Locality affects the living experience of the student, however, it doesn’t matter much to the degree.

[@RP-yn3zv]

Buying and merchasing work? Styling carrer?

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Yes, you can go into these fields as well but Buying and Merchandising profile generally has people from either MFM or BFtech background.

[@sanjana9769]

Hey so I got AIR 67, should I go for NIFT Mumbai or Bangalore considering I wish to get into Digital Design Research (AI,AR/VR,etc.)

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Hey, both the Centers are good and top centers of NIFT. Better if you could connect with someone directly who has studied from these campuses and get the real insights. All the best!

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Hey Rounak, video on NIFT MFM has already been uploaded on my channel (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oajPeWiMnJWVsJYsi=dIxlbgHCn61x0cc7). You can go through it as I suppose there is not much change in the course curriculum since 2020 till now. However, if you want me to discuss some specific things about the MFM course, please let me know. I am happy to help!
