Loans may be required for those students whose family income is less and who cannot afford to bear the expenses.

Placements & Internships : The college sends students for an internship at the end of 2nd year and 3rd year, So, I have not yet been to any, but as I heard from my seniors of 4th year, the students got a good stipend, and apart from that the experience gained is very good and useful. Even at the end of 1st year students can try out for internships in the industries but to have an internship with stipend is difficult to find ( not impossible). The details of placements is published each year in the placement brochure in which the names of companies and the salaries are mentioned. The placement brochure can be obtained by searching on google ( NIFT placement Brochure)

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : Only Girls' Hostel is available which is off campus and it does not have enough rooms to accomodate all students. So most people end up in PGs or private hostels which are abundant near the college. To find a PG or private hostel in the area is no big deal. I, myself stay in a PG. Usually their cost varies depending on the room type, size, meals, etc, varying from Rs 4000- 6000 to even Rs 10000 for rooms with ACs and other facilities. The food of the college canteen is good and cheap as well. Apart from the canteen, there is also a coffee place, where tea, coffee, hot chocolate, pasta, sandwich is available. There are also food stalls outside the college, where all types of food is available at reasonable price. The quality of classrooms, labs are very good, they are completely air conditioned and are in good condition. The library or the resource centre is awesome, having a huge collection of books, magazines, newspapers. The entire campus has wi- fi facility.
