Hi
The fashion industry in India, just like in any other country is all about pattern making, garment construction, accessory designing, make-up artists, modelling, fabric weaving, textile research and development, fashion journalism/editorial, and manufacturing and what not.
Fashion designing is considered as one of the most exciting and demanded career options here. It’s not just academics, this course requires a deep passion for fabric, inner talents, styling and designing, and industrial exposure. Fashion designing colleges in India render the dual advantage of rich industrial exposure along with creative designing lessons which are of world-class standard. At this time of 'Self-Reliant India', we must be vocal about local and try to retain our best talent in the country.
Some of the top fashion designing institutes in India according to the NIRF rankings that you may seek:
Starting salary of an NIFT Alumni goes around INR 14-16 LPA. The institute enjoys 100 % placements every year, and companies come from all over the country for recruitment.
Private colleges are no less as they are able to provide 90 % placements with an average placement package of around INR 3-4 LPA. Some of the top brands that visit include Adidas, Max, Globus, Puma, etc.
Yes if you wish to pursue academics abroad in English speaking countries like Australia, UK, New Zealand, USA, and Canada, IELTS exam is required. Preparation of the same takes time and you must start as soon as you can.
Please note that IELTS is not compulsory in all university admissions. Many universities might not even require IELTS scores for admission purposes.
Hope I am able to solve your query.
