Curriculum
Programme Structure
NIFT has adopted a format of Majors, Deepening Specialisations, Minors and General Electives. Inter disciplinary Minors provide individuated pathways that would permit students to acquire interdisciplinary skillsets and opt for a set of subjects that complement studies in one’s major or explore an unrelated area of intellectual interest. General Electives have been offered to the students to help them enhance their personality and develop interests in specific areas like Personality Development, Communication Skills, Critical Thinking Skills, Professional Ethics etc. The Craft Cluster Initiative has been integrated into the curriculum. Increased Industry interaction for students through classroom projects, internships and part transaction in Industry Environment is the focus of the restructured curriculum.
The contact hours have been recalibrated to 25 hours per week, giving increased time for studio practice and self–study to the students. Standardisation of credits across all programmes and all semesters has been undertaken.
New and emerging areas across disciplines integrated into the curriculum:
