Dear Student,
Congratulations to you!
With immense pleasure I welcome you into NIFT – a leading Institution in the field of Fashion, Management
and Technology. In it’s 34 years of existence, NIFT has produced names to reckon with and umpteen others at
the helm of the corporate ladder steering the industry to what it is today. With your entry into NIFT, we see
many more such names in the offing.
Your academic day’s in NIFT is assured to be filled with ideation, exploration and intellectual joy. The virtual
highway we adapted during the pandemic did not deter NIFT from the aforementioned three points of assur-
ance. Creative means were devised to circumvent the academic toll of the pandemic. We have negotiated the
curve to a point where students entering NIFT this academic year will also feel privileged.
With optimism and hope, I welcome you again.
Best wishes
