Hello sir,before someday I got my result of MFM and my rank is 128 as I'm from bihar so NIFT patna would be better for me or not and also highlight the package regarding NIFT patna and career growth

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Hi Shubham, you might get some better campuses as well with this rank, like Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, etc. You can definitely go ahead with any of these campuses as well. Also, regarding your career growth question, I had already made a video in which I covered a lot of topics related to NIFT MFM. Please do check out that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oajPeWiMnJWVsJY

[@jainpriyaful]

if my grad percentage is 48percent in all , i am not eligible for the course?

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

I would request you to have a look at the NIFT official website and read the document where the Eligibility Criteria of doing this program is mentioned in detail.

[@preetamdhaneriya3194]

One question regarding nift mfm that does we have a jurry or we have a written exam

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Both, the entire examination structure is designed in such a way that it is a mixture of both - Jury and written exams in order to give a good experience and exposure to the students.

[@namanbhambri]

Amazing!

[@nikhilmalhotra9471]

2 nd viewer !!! 😉 Thank u so much sir for the video. This is such an informative video which really hepled me a lot. Looking forward for more such content 🙂

[@niharikasingh8585]

I just have one question how to deal negative marking..what should we do if we have 50-50 chances of the answer being right?

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

It depends on the no of questions in which you are doubtful. Some questions like 4-5 you can definitely try it out, out of the entire paper. But not too many of them you should try because we need to take negative marking also into consideration which is 0.25 marks per question which may create a negative impact on your total score if you try answering too many doubtful questions.

[@urvithakur1516]

Really a very helpful video, everything was well explained, cleared all my doubts. Keep up the good work, Rishabh! Waiting for your next video.

[@anshikaaggarwal7393]

Sir what about negative marking ...its been introduced.please tell about that

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Hi Anshika, as far as I know, 0.25 marks per question would be deducted for your every incorrect answer in the exam. Please check this from someone else as well once.

[@sej6048]

Hey can we have Arushi Sharma once again giving us tips for GD/PI! Thanks a ton in advance :) looking forward for it....

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Hi Sejal, a new video for giving GD PI tips is already in WIP and will be uploaded surely by tomorrow but this time the tips will be given by some other top rank holder.

[@ari-my7pu]

Hello is cat score also accepted for admission in mfm program by nift ? And percentile required ? @rishabhmalhotra1065

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

I don’t think so. I suggest you to appear for the MFM entrance exam separately as NIFT only accepts the applications with respect to the entrance exam organised by them.

[@ari-my7pu]

@@rishabhmalhotra1065 Thankyou so much for the info!

[@rengashreeravichandran5137]

Is there negative marking? What to do if we are unsure of a question. Should I attend or leave that ?

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]

Yes it's there this time. 0.25 marks per question would be lost if the answer is wrong. Still check with someone else also. I am not very sure.

[@devanshishah7557]

Hi I came across your KZbin videos about NIFT mfm.. great work, honestly.. very informative and gave tons of clarity ... I've been a little confused about a couple of things, would be great if you could guide me I am 25, I have done fashion design degree from another college and worked for a couple of years before starting my own small label 2 years ago.. now the business is doing well and I do find some extra time on the side. I had always wanted to pursue a master's degree and NIFT mfm was on my mind... There is no chance I can shut my business so I'm not sure if I can commit to something full time... I wanted to ask you if it's possible to manage mfm alongside a full-time business.. like how intensive is the course? I will possibly get engaged and married in the next couple of years so that's additional time commitment... Do they normally have students who work part time? Or do they offer a part time version of the same course? Please do reply and help me out! Thanks a ton in advance

[@rishabhmalhotra1065]
