FDDI - an overview of the college.

Placements: There's a 100% placement record here, and all different kinds of brands come for scouting, but the placement is mostly centralized, meaning students have to go to Noida to get placed, and fdp (footwear designing) students get better placements than the fashion designing ones.

Infrastructure: The hostel is good enough. The mess is not bad; I'd give it 5/10. But there are no basic snacks/amenities in the canteen area. The sports area is fine. There's no medical facility on campus. Mess food is bad, but manageable. We don't have separate canteens for north India and south India, but it's manageable.

Faculty: The faculty members are not that experienced. They'd teach you the basics, but designing is mostly experimenting and self-learning; you go to a lot of internships and learn by yourself. This college is definitely overpriced for the amenities it provides. For this tuition/college fee, I'd expect more from the college side.

Other: Events are nice, but there are hardly 500 people in this college, so having fun with a lot of people is rare. There's always a sports and cultural day held each semester. Some are exciting, while others are just okay. Students have to find most of the events. The college will provide only a part of it.

Review of Footwear Design and Development Institute, Chennai.

Placements: Almost all students got placed in our college. Top recruiting companies are Clarks, Puma, Adidas, Westside, Woodland, etc. The top recruiting company is a central government college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Our college is Wi-Fi enabled. The hostel is good. Our college gives significant importance to sports and games. Our college has 2 cafeterias.

Faculty: Our teachers are cooperative and helpful. They have enough knowledge about their respective departments. The teaching quality is good. This course curriculum is industry oriented. The pass percentage is very high. Semester exams are moderately difficult. We can select the specialised subject in the 6th semester.

Other: I opted for this course because this course was less popular in the industry. Scholarships are available for eligible students.

You can have fun while learning design.

Placements: I am in my 3rd year. I got a good internship opportunity to work with the designer Vino Supraja and applied my design understanding using Photoshop and clo3D I learnt here in college. About 90 percent of students got placed, as the field is subjective, if we do well in all four years and make a decent portfolio, placement is usually confirmed. Designer, stylist, and costume designer roles are offered to students along with retail manager roles. I am enjoying my time here.

Infrastructure: The building is cool. Hostel food is decent, and the campus is green with a cool lakeside view. Hostel, classrooms and labs are fully Wi-Fi-enabled. Classrooms have AC. The library is rich in content and there is a regular supply of the latest journals and magazines. Many students play table tennis, volleyball, and badminton after classes.

Faculty: Most teachers are good. A few teachers are exceptionally good. I would like to mention here that Dr. Singh is among the best faculty here. The curriculum is good and teaches us everything that we need for the industry. Computer-aided designing is also in accordance with the latest requirements. Practical subjects have jury evaluation and theory exams that happen twice a semester. I guess 40 percent is the pass percentage.

Other: College offers opportunities to participate in Lake Fashion Week as an assistant to designers and interns. All festivals are celebrated with enthusiasm. The annual college fest is fun.
