Hi Sakshi, Being an education consultant I would advise you to appear in an exam of UCEED. You never know when the luck is with you so you must try for NIFD first then after you must have plan B in your hand. In North India, one of the premier institution is Lovely Professional University, it is situated at Jalandhar in Punjab. Believe me, they have developed the habit to reduce students completely not only in engineering field but in fashion technology too.
