Faculty Secondment Programme inviting Visiting Fellows to NIFT

 

NIFT has evolved as a centre of Excellence imparting Multidisciplinary and pragmatic education to its students. In order to keep pace with the dynamic environment which is rapidly changing, the present milieu demands that the international fashion industry trends need to be adopted and assimilated within the Indian environment.

 

Thus, there is a requirement of introduction of overseas international Visiting Fellows, who can provide the necessary international flavour and impetus to the initiative taken by NIFT. It is also important to offer appointments to overseas Visiting Fellows so that their involvement and commitment with NIFT is ensured. 

 

With the academic term starting January 2007,  18 Visiting Fellows have been invited to NIFT Campus providing direction to the above mentioned initiative.
