Professionals would be nurtured in the field of design, management and technology>

The states rich traditional woolen costumes, other apparels, jewellery and accessories would stand to benefit and get international exposure. The Institute would provide a common platform for fashion education, research and training.

The new NIFT would be having computer labs with well-equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software.

    Hello Arman,
    You would need to give an entrance test-that would be the same for all the NIFT centers,it would include written tests and interviews to check you aptitude,you could mention the Kangra center as your choice of college to study at.
    In case of passing these exams and coming in merit-i believe NIFT will offer you your choice.
    You could visit the official website of NIFT and send them an e-mail inquiring more about the same.
    Sincerely
    Abhinav Vats
