Malvika’s Ramblings

If you are looking for flatmates/accommodation around NIFT (any centre), say so as a comment. Remember to give your contact info, email address will do. If you want to respond to a notice, please check the date of the notice and respond directly. I am mainly talking about NIFT students but designers, other college students can post too.

Delhi:

NIFT has only 1 hostel - a girl’s hostel. I do not advise you to stay there as it is very very far from college; it’s in Vasant Kunj and NIFT is in Hauz Khas. There is no direct public bus that goes to the hostel. I found no ventilation in the hostel when i checked it out. I suggest that at the time of counseling you make a group of around 4 girls/boys and look for accommodation together.

Places NIFT students stay-

Hauz Khas and Gautam Nagar PGs, apartments.

Niti Bagh and Green Park are other options.

Most of the students live in Gautam Nagar. Every other house has a NIFTian living in it. However it is not the cleanest of places. It is the cheapest and roomiest. Other places have 3 girls living in one room paying Rs 4000 each. Look hard and find yourself a good deal.

To look for a place,

• Respond to notices about PGs etc on college gate and around at the time of counselling.

• Contact seniors. You’ll find them on orkut. Look for places left by fourth year students. you’ll have to ask a lot of seniors though and might just be lucky to find someone looking for a flatmate.
• Walk around in Gautam Nagar and Hauz Khas responding to the To Let notices.
• Contact Gautam Nagar broker - Rakesh 98 917 875 46
