An Entrepreneurial Culture at the Campus

A peek in older times - Earlier, not many options were made available career-wise. For example, one had to decide amidst being a Doctor, Engineer, Pilot, CA, Teacher, Bank Accountant, and well that’s all about it. But as times progressed, different branches of study came into light, and courses were developed around them. 

Fashion Designing was one such stream that struggled to become one of the mainstream courses that it is today. Now, fortunately, a lot of public and private institutes all over the world offer fashion courses. Some even cater to teaching a certain specialization for those who want to master a particular segment of Fashion. Not only that, the period of learning varies with regard to the intensity of the curriculum - which is mainly classified into Degree and Diploma. 

 

Which one’s the best? Let’s find out -

  • The credit requirement and eligibility to get enrolled for this is either 10th or 12th pass with average marks. (eligibility depends on the institute)
  • Fashion Diploma focuses on a specific subject matter and trains the student to be a maestro in that particular subject.
  • Popular amongst students who want to have an overview of fashion and those who wish to upskill themselves in this area.
  • The chances of getting a high paying job on the basis of a diploma are slightly low in comparison. But, if clubbed with a good industry internship experience, it equals out the odds.
  • Opt if you are already from the industry, and want to get skilled in a specific area of Designing.
  • Since the fashion syllabus is divided into just two semesters, the attention span and speed dedicated to each topic is comparatively fast.
