We have good faculty members, nice placement opportunities, and good infrastructure.

Placements: We have 100 percent placement in our college. The highest package is 5 LPA, and the lowest package is 3 LPA. The top recruiting companies include Home Centre and Unique. We also have 100 percent internship opportunities in different sectors, which students mostly secure on their own.

Infrastructure: We have good infrastructure and nice facilities. The quality of food is good, and all facilities are comfortable and clean. However, Wi-Fi and classroom facilities are still in the improvement process, as the college is located in an area with limited network connectivity. Despite this, the college provides the best possible network access at times. Currently, there is no canteen facility for day scholars, but we hope it will be available in the future.

Faculty: Our teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, which helps us understand industry concepts clearly in a theoretical manner. The curriculum is relevant as it explains how the industry works. Exams are quite manageable since the teaching provides clear understanding.

Other: I chose this field because I wanted to pursue a creative course. The best part of this field is that it allows us to explore many different opportunities and ideas.

Good college with nice facilities. Active campus with a small crowd.

Placements: There is 100 percent campus placement. Companies like Zara, The Collective, Uniqlo, Walkaro, Homecenter, and Max participate. Placements are centralized in Noida. The types of roles offered are fashion executive, visual merchandiser, designer, and retail.

Infrastructure: The college provides Wi-Fi that is easily accessible for students. It has smart classrooms with AC. There are separate boys’ and girls’ canteens. The food is average but manageable. There is Saveetha nearby, along with a small hospital.

Faculty: The teachers teach well and also help and encourage students to attend events to gain exposure. The curriculum is designed so that students learn not only about fabrics but also leather. The semester exams are easy, though the jury is strict.

Other: There are lots of events happening in the college. The crowd is small, and the campus is very beautiful, facing the lake. The college continues to improve its facilities.

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.
