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.

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.
