produce the top brains in fashion and design, let us look at the differences
between the two.
·

innovation, with a global reputation for design quality.
·
NID
teaches students about design and art, as well as aesthetic sense and design
engineering extracts. It is primarily concerned with art, aesthetics, and
product design.
·
NIFT
is India's foremost fashion design institution, producing the greatest stylists
and fashion designers year after year. Fabrics, illustration, aesthetic
sensibility, garment manufacturing, style, and the technology that surrounds it
are all areas of concentration at NIFT. In a sense, the focus is more on
apparel and clothing.
