Poor procedure adopted for B.Des. Councelling

National Institute Of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi is committed to providing a echo free environment free from harassment and bullying and which supports the right of all the candidates selected for counseling to be treated with respect.

The Institution has seek to ensure that all the candidates selected respect each other and work in harmony to achieve the aims and goals of the organisation.

This year FY 2011 there was a change in counseling & selection procedure for Bachelor of design. Open quota system counseling was introduced and there were a large number of complaints in the counseling cent about irregularities in the allotment of seats to eligible candidates who secured good ranks.

Candidates with rank 1000 & above got seats for Fashion Designing & Auxilary Desigining in top centers of Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad & Chennai. Whereas candidates who got good ranks below 350 where given other courses like Leather design, Fashion communication in remote centers like Shilong, Kanagara & Kanur.

Few Candidates who got selected for counseling were not allowed even to talk by the councilors requesting to consider for selection as they were awaiting supplementary results. It is most unfortunate that the councilors did not treat the parents & candidates well at the counseling center. They should have been given a chance for hearing instead of throwing them out of the center. Action should be taken against the councilor for insulting parents & candidates in front of the public.

Candiates in reserved categories who got good ranks could not get deserved course seats.

Now request the NIFT Board to look into the following:-

(1) Why there was change in the selection procedure which allowed candidates with rank above 1000 getting got courses in good centers. This has deprived top rankers in getting good courses and in good centers.

(2) When candidates who were selected for counseling with good ranks but were awaiting supplementary results were not given chance. No candidate should be denied admission to the college or any of its programs

This definitely show that selection procedure was very poor and shaddy.

Please look into the above matter or else we will be forced to file case with RTI
