What Students Say

Likes

campus life is nice. a lot of events are conducted. there's a 100% placement and the teaching for FDP course is nice
college connection for the footwear design course is nice
placement opportunities are fine for though it's centralised so you'd have to go to the noida campus

Dislikes

teaching is very bad. faculties are not experienced

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

The course curriculum is fine. the syllabus is also fine. just that the faculties are sometimes a bit inexperienced to teach the particular topic. they are mostly practical exams and we have some 2-4 theory exams mostly. They provide ppts and the subject is self explanatory so you can manage theory subjects.

Class Size: 43Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Placement Experience

2.5

The placement is centralized meaning you have to go to Noida (the headquarters) to get placed. placements for the fdp course is good and the packages also vary from 6-8 (for fdp) and 4-6 for fd department, there's a 100% placement record.

Fees and Financial Aid

there's a lot of scholarships and government programs since it's a government college. people come through different organization and programs. the internships you'd have to search yourself but they provide assistance as well. it differs every years but mine (21-25) sums up to 7 for the tuition fee. but don't expect getting a fashion designer role because it's rare you'd probably end up doing fashion merchandising (similar to it)

Campus Life

3.5

Events are nice but there are hardly 500 people in this college so having fun with a lot of people is rare. There's always a sports and cultural day held for each semester. some are exciting while the others are just okayish. students have to fund most of the events. the college will provide only a part of it.

Admission

The FDDI AIST exam is the entrance exam to get inside the college it's relatively easy to get in since we don't have much people in the college, they just take everyone in. The details will probably be available in the FDDI website.

Faculty

2.5

The faculties are not that experienced. they'd teach you basics but designing is mostly experimenting and self learning you go to a lot of internships and learn by yourself. This college is definitely overpriced for the amenities they provide. for this tuition/college fee I'd expect more from the college side

Companies like Bata, Puma, Reliance Retail, Adidas, Clarks, etc., have recruited in the past. Internships are also provided,which often convert into job offers.

Bdes industrial design at VIT

Placement Experience:

Thr placements for bdes is not as good as btech ofcourse, which is why a lot of them prefer to apply for it individually as I said, but a good training is given for sitting on placements on our 3rd and 4th year of the course. The minimum cgpa for sitting for placements is 8.5 and as of what I know 9 lakh is the estimated package. I am planning to pursue masters after my degree and in between If I want a break I thought of gaining some work experience by working for an year so. I thought of applying for companies myself instead of sitting for the placements from university itself.

Is VIT a good Place to learn Bachelor of Design (Industrial design)?

Placement Experience:

Since VIT is known for their campus placements , there is no shortage in placements as of now. This year almost all the students who sat for placemennts who had 8 or above CGPA did well with their placements.The topper is also known to get a placemnt of 50 lpa, but he average remains to be 7lpa. Moreover if you have a good cgpa you will get a good internship by third year.Everything depends on the CGAPA that you maintain through your course.70% of students were placed. Iam most probably going to sit for placements if not I hope i will be trained enough to get placements on my own.TCS is known to be giving the most number of placements folllowed by some other industrial ccompanies and startups.

Review of my college

Remarks:

My 4 years at NIFT was utterly an experience! I cant describe it probably in a word but I can say that it has built me as a person, it has thought me how to deal with different people from a worker or an artisan to at CEO or MD of an organisation, it has thought me to be confident at the same time humble. How to work under immense pressure and time constrains. All in all NIFT has acquiped me to take on this world and make my mark with the skills and practices that I learnt in these 4 years.

FDDI Chennai: A Blend of Creativity, Career, and Campus Comfort

Why I Chose FDDI Chennai I chose FDDI Chennai because it offers a specialized curriculum in Fashion Design / Footwear Design / Leather Goods, with strong industry linkages, good infrastructure, and a practical-oriented approach. Its backing by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry gives it credibility, and the placement support is also a strong factor. Why I Couldn't Make It to Other Colleges NIFT – Very high competition. I appeared for the entrance but my rank wasn’t sufficient for the center/course I wanted. Other Private Colleges – I was selected, but the fee was too high and ROI didn’t justify the cost. FDDI Admission Process 1.Entrance Exam (AIST) FDDI All India Selection Test (AIST) is a written exam covering GK, aptitude, design awareness, and English. 2. Application Form Apply online through the FDDI website. Choice of campus and program is selected during this step. 3. Result & Counseling Based on AIST score and seat availability, students are called for counseling and seat allotment....Read More
