Should you pick Diploma in Fashion Design at Vidya Institute of Fashion Technology?

This course suits students who want a short, low-cost start in fashion and a retail or export house job.

Pick it if:

You want a retail or export job in fashion: VIFT alumni work as merchandisers at Max and Vero Moda, and as designers at Panipat export houses.

Your family wants to pay in parts: you pay INR 15,000 at admission, INR 18,500 before classes and INR 18,500 within 90 days after.

You need a hostel on campus: girls and boys stay in separate hostels on the Vidya campus, two to a room, with a vegetarian mess.

You want to try fashion before a long course: the course takes 11 months and the full fee is INR 52,000, the last fee VIFT published.

Skip it if:

You want a placement figure before you join: VIFT publishes no pay or placement rate for this diploma; its placed student lists cover degree batches.

You want to work for a big designer label: the alumni list names retail chains and export houses, not labels, so you find that internship yourself.

You need a degree for a master's or a government job: this is an 11-month diploma, and the 4-year BFAD at VIFT is the degree route.

You belong to SC, ST or OBC and count on the state scholarship: VIFT's fee notice lists that scholarship only for its degree courses.

Counsellor's advice

If you want to learn fashion design in one year at a low fee, take this seat. Before you pay INR 15,000, get this year's fee and who gives the certificate in writing.

In short

IIFA Noida is two years older and its diploma takes a month longer, but it publishes no fixed diploma fee. If you want a Noida campus, get its fee in writing first; if not, VIFT's INR 52,000 is the known number.

In short

IADA Noida costs INR 33,000 more for a one-year diploma, and both were set up in 2008. If you live near Noida and can pay more, visit IADA; if cost decides it, VIFT is the cheaper seat.

In short

Satyam Fashion Institute is a girls-only institute in Noida and a year older than VIFT, but it publishes no diploma fee. If you are a girl who wants a girls-only campus, ask Satyam for its fee; if not, compare on VIFT's known fee.

In short

Subharti's diploma in Meerut takes 24 months, 13 more than VIFT's. If you want a longer, deeper diploma in the same city, ask Subharti for its fee; if you want to finish in one year, take VIFT.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Vidya Institute of Fashion Technology Diploma in Fashion Design

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is this diploma worth INR 52,000?▾

Yes, if you want a short, low-cost start in fashion design. The full fee is INR 52,000 for 11 months, paid in three parts. VIFT publishes no pay figure for this diploma, so you pay for the training and the labs, not for a promised job. Visit the pattern making and garment labs before you pay the first INR 15,000.

What job can I get after this diploma?▾

Most likely an entry job in fashion retail or an export house. VIFT's alumni page lists merchandisers and visual merchandisers at Max, Vero Moda and Future Group, and designers at export houses in Panipat and Surat. Build a portfolio of your own garments during the course, because that is what these employers ask to see.

Should I take this diploma or the 4-year BFAD at VIFT?▾

Take the diploma if you want to learn the skills in 11 months at a low fee. Take the BFAD if you want a full degree for a master's or a government job, because this diploma is not a degree. If you are not sure about fashion yet, the diploma is a cheaper way to find out.

Who should not take this course?▾

Skip it if you need a published placement record before you join, because VIFT publishes no pay or placement rate for this diploma. Skip it too if you want to work for a big designer label, because the alumni list names retail chains and export houses. In both cases, ask the Admission Cell for past diploma students you can talk to.

Is this diploma good for higher studies?▾

It helps your portfolio, but it is not a degree. A master's course in design usually asks for a graduation degree, so this 11-month diploma alone will not get you in. If higher studies are your plan, take a degree first and use this diploma as an extra skill.

Should I wait a year if my marks are below 50%?▾

Ask first, then decide. VIFT's published rule is 50% marks in Class 12 or a degree, and it publishes no lower mark for any category. Ask the Admission Cell in writing whether it takes students below 50%. If the answer is no, a degree with 50% later also makes you eligible.

Will I get placement help after this course?▾

There is a placement cell, but no diploma placement record is published. The Corporate Connect and Placement Cell on campus holds placement drives for all Vidya institutes. VIFT's placed student lists cover its degree batches only. Ask whether diploma students can sit in those drives before you take the seat.

Is Meerut right for me if I want fashion internships?▾

It works if you can travel for an internship. Meerut is in the Delhi NCR, and VIFT's alumni work at export houses in Panipat and at retail brands. If you want an internship with a designer label, plan to find it yourself and keep money aside for travel.

How do I get admission to this diploma?▾

Go to the Admission Cell on the Vidya Knowledge Park campus on Baghpat Road and fill the form. There is no entrance exam. The Admission Cell checks your Class 12 or degree marks for 50%, and you pay INR 15,000 to take the seat. The 2027 form is expected to open in May 2027.

Can I pay the fee in parts?▾

Yes, the fee is already split into three parts. You pay INR 15,000 at admission, INR 18,500 before classes start and INR 18,500 within 90 days of the first class. The exam fee of INR 1,000 is extra. If you need a loan, the campus has tie-ups with Punjab National Bank.

Is there a hostel and what does it cost?▾

Yes, there are separate hostels for girls and boys on the campus, two to a room. The girls hostel has 150 rooms and the boys hostel has 250 rooms, each with a vegetarian mess. VIFT does not publish the hostel fee, so ask the Admission Cell for it before you book a room.

Can I get a scholarship for this diploma?▾

Only a small one, and only if you qualify. The central Post Matric Scholarship for SC students pays INR 2,500 a year to a day scholar and INR 4,000 to a hosteller. VIFT's fee notice lists the state scholarship only for its degree courses. Ask the Admission Cell if this diploma is on the state portal before you count on it.
