The 4th Alumni Meet of NIFT Panchkula was held on 26 May 2026 at the Board Room, following the Graduation Project Show. The interactive session brought together alumni from diverse batches and disciplines with faculty members, creating a valuable platform for professional exchange, reflection, and networking.

Key discussions focused on the growing potential of the knitwear industry in Ludhiana, the integration of AI and technology into design education, industry-readiness, communication skills, work-life balance, and emerging cross-disciplinary career opportunities. Alumni also recommended stronger industry-academic collaboration, structured design feedback, and integrated Design, Management, Technology, and Communication skills.

A major outcome was the announcement of the Knitwear Design programme at NIFT Panchkula from July 2026, with opportunities for alumni mentorship, industry visits, live projects, and internships. The event concluded with a group photograph and High Tea networking session.
