Hello Dear,

Both are top fashion institutes in India as both comes under Government of India where NIFT comes under Ministry of Textiles and FDDI comes under Ministry of Commerce & Industry. FDDI - Domain areas - Footwear, Leather goods and accessory design, Fashion design , Retail and Fashion merchandising. NIFT - Domain Areas - Textile, Apparel , Fashion, Knitwear , Accessory Design, Fashion Tech.

FDDI has attained the status of institute of national importance under FDDI, Bill 2017 so its has been elevated to quite a good position as far as the status is concerned.  College with 100% placements are a surety but Most of students get placed in brands stores as fashion consultants i.e sales personnel and very few(2–5 from every batch) gets chance to work in back end with good profile such as merchandiser or marketing assistant.

NIFT is anytime better than FDDI, but if not selected in nift then fddi can be considered. Most of fddians after graduation prefer to pursue post graduation from nift.

Good Luck

Now talking about FDDI Hyderabad:

• FDDI is good for fashion designing as well as retailing and merchandising. But, there's some issue with the degree they give. The college issues degree under IGNOU, which is a big disadvantage for the students to find jobs.
• Based on last few years admissions FDDI Hyderabad is considered as best campuses for fashion design. It also known for other Design courses in footwear design and leather goods design.
• For this Noida branch is much better as this is oldest.
• The practical knowledge provided with classroom teaching is good point of this college.

Comparing these Institute I can say that FDDI Hyderabad provides good knowledge and NIFT has best placements.
