Course Curriculum Overview
Hands on experience when it comes to certain material handling especially leather. Leather is a full on subject which expands our material knowlege and handling. Curriculum does prepare you for the real world with subjects that not only teach design but also textiles, costing and engineering. Some courses feel too structured and lack imagination and freedom. Subjects are not that difficult.
Placement Experience
Placements in FDDI Chennai are average. But the rising competition in this field is also an important factor to consider here. Placements here are not just design based but also with Visual merchandising, retail, production, styling, leather, home furnishing related jobs as well.

Campus Life
Infrastructure in FDDI is quite good! Both technical and non technical events happen here every year. Some events are conducted by students while some are conducted by the management. Plenty of workshops conducted as well. Technical events include- Hackathon in 2025, Adhesive day in 2025 and some other events are embroidery day, handloom day etc. festivals are also celebrated every yr .
Admission
I chose this college because I wanted to have freedom with what I did . I didn't want structured, stressful courses which would make me dislike this course instead i wanted to do things in my own terms as well . I had applied to nift as well but i didn't clear it. To apply in FDDI , we have to crack the entrance exam here and we can apply to campuses based on our rank .
Faculty
About 10-15 faculties in Total with them rotating through each semester. Mix of experienced teachers and creative teachers gives a mix of balance and freedom. It's fun and also Structured at the same time. Most teachers are friendly and helpful. However some facilities here think a little narrow for design in my opinion. Exams are easy however that does come with effort. For fashion design, there's barely one or two theory subjects per yr with the test being practicals. It's easy to clear if work is started early and done with interest. Most students here clear the exam . Course is pretty relevant to the curriculum!
Night Life
A lot of seating places are available in and around the campus and the campus is quite pleasant and chill. Night life of our college is not much one can expect because of its location. However, it is quite good in and around here.
