The first year constitutes of the Foundation Programme in which students from all disciplines are taught the basics of design. The next six semesters are focused on apparel design and aesthetics. Contrary to popular belief, fashion design at NIFT is a LOT of work. We have 10 subjects each semester with classes that start from 9 is to 6 pm in the evening. If a workload is not an issue and you're really passionate about going in the field of apparel design then the course is brilliant.
