'''National Institute of Fashion Technology Kannur''' known as '''NIFT Kannur''' is one of the 17 campuses of [[NIFT]], an institution for Fashion, Design, Technology and Management. It is located in the [[Dharmashala, Kannur|Dharmashala]] locality ([[Taliparamba]] Taluk), outside the city of [[Kannur]] in [[Kerala]], [[South India]].

==Location==
The [[NIFT]] Centre at [[Kannur]] is one of the newer additions to the network of existing government-run fashion schools across [[India]]. It started functioning from June 2008, from a transit campus situated at [[Dharmashala, Kannur|Dharmashala]], and moved to its permanent campus at Dharmashala in 2011. The campus is about 16 kilometres from [[Kannur]] Town and 7 kilometres from [[Taliparamba]] Town.

==Courses==
[[NIFT]], [[Kannur]], in parallel with other centres of the institute across [[India]], offers four-year undergraduate [[Bachelor of Design]] and technology and the two-year post-graduate master's degrees in Design, Fashion Management and Fashion Technology.

Currently, NIFT Kannur is offering five under-graduate and two post-graduate programmes:

i) Bachelors in Textile Design (TD)

ii) Bachelors in Knitwear Design (KD)

iii) Bachelors in Fashion Design (FD)

iv) Bachelors in Fashion Communication (FC)

v) Bachelors in Fashion Technology (B.F.Tech)

vi) Masters in Fashion Management (MFM)

vii) Masters in Design (M.Des)

Students are selected through an intensive common entrance examination process, which consists of two written examinations - GAT (General Ability Test) and the CAT (Creative Ability Test). Based on the scores of these written examinations, select students are invited for a situation test. Post the Situation Test, the final rankings of students at an all India level is released. Students then undergo a counselling process to determine their programme and campus. For the post-graduate courses, a group discussion and a personal interview is conducted based on the final rankings.
