Pearl Academy Bengaluru, another South Indian branch

In terms of relevance, the Pearl curriculum is splendid, but the BCU curriculum that we do side by side does help us get more hands on skills, but is also completely useless and time wasting. Pearl academy faculty have no time management and make it the students problem

Nykaa, AJIO, Manish Malhotra, vogue India, etc are some companies that students can intern for Their projects and outcomes rely on the job given to them so it varies from place to place but most of the work is digital based

Only one batch has gotten placements from my college as we have only one proper graduating batch. Their placements went okay if I'm not wrong, with some getting placed in companies like nykaa, and ajio. But mostly the placements are not as good as they promise 100% placements but not everyone gets it.

I'm paying over 6 and a half lakhs per annum for my Fashion Design Course that's integrated with Bangalore City University for my degree. Pearl only provides their own merit-based scholarship but if certain criteria aren't maintained, the students may lose it. Campus doesn't have much to offer, but I am part of the Fashion Society which is a club that focuses on the main team going to competitions outside of college and hosting events. I was also considered for the head of the fashion society but I declined them due to never ending work from my course. Maybe with taxes and the stationary that college does not include, I'd spend around 7.5 lakhs per annum (I need to buy fabrics for garments as well that's why)

The clubs are great but they need to have some sort of teacher involvement and they have no funds from college the students fund everything. The events are fun but the infrastructure is horrible. The library is quite nice and we don't have anything amnual we celebrate every event with nothing specially catered for Pearl. We did have portfolio event that showcased all our seniors work right before they graduated though.

All the information is on their main website Pearlacademy.com The application fees was 1500 and the eligibility is to have 12th pass (or whatever equivalent) Their exam and interview would be held in person and is quite easy as it's only 50 marks

The faculty has great credentials in all honesty, but we have maybe 20 faculties as a whole for around 200-300 students? Most of the faculties focus on one on one mentoring of students which is quite helpful especially as each student is different. Only 2 teachers come to mind who are quite orthodox in teaching methods and are completely unapproachable
