Footwear Design & Development Institute Noida Course Admission 2025: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Ans. FDDI Noida mainly gives admission through its own entrance exam called the All India Selection Test (AIST). This exam is held every year for students who want to join undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses like B.Des, BBA, M.Des, and MBA. Candidates must register for AIST on the FDDI official website and appear for the test. Based on the scores, students are shortlisted for counselling and seat allotment.

Ans. Yes, FDDI Noida also accepts CUET UG and CUET PG scores, but only if seats are still available after the AIST counselling is completed. This means AIST is the primary way to get admission, but students who missed AIST or didn’t get a seat can apply with CUET scores for the remaining seats.

Ans. To get admission into UG courses like B.Des or BBA at FDDI Noida, students must pass 10+2 or equivalent from any recognized board in any stream.
