Hello. I am a 4th year BBA LLB student at SOEL. I wish to take a gap year and pursue a 1 year diploma course in Fashion Designing. I require a course which will accept me on the basis of my 10th and 12th marksheets. Also, I don't have a portfolio so I need a foundation course in Fashion Designing.

Hello there,

Hello! Since you're interested in pursuing a 1-year diploma course in Fashion Designing after your BBA LLB, here's a guide to help you:

1. Eligibility : Many fashion designing diploma courses accept students based on their 10th and 12th marks, so you won’t need a portfolio initially.
   
   

2. Course Options : You can consider enrolling in foundation courses in Fashion Designing, which are aimed at students without a portfolio or prior experience.
   
   These courses often focus on:

   • Basics of fashion design
   • Textile and fabric knowledge
   • Fashion illustration
   • Fashion history and trends
     
     

3. Institutes Offering Diploma Courses :

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

For your gap year, consider a foundation course in fashion design followed by a one-year diploma.  Since you don't have a portfolio, look for programs that admit based on 10th and 12th marks.  Search online using keywords like "fashion design diploma after 12th" and "fashion design foundation course India." Institutes like JD Institute, NIFT (for shorter courses), IIFA, and Hamstech are worth exploring, but do your own research. Contact institutes directly for admission details.  Start building a portfolio even if it's not initially required.  Consider costs and your career goals.

All the best
