MBA in Retail and Fashion Merchandise - Batch of 2026

2.8

3Placements1Infrastructure5Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Review of FDDI Noida from a current MBA student.

Placements: Almost all students secured placements, with the highest number being 10 LPA, the lowest being 4 LPA, and an average of around 5 companies like Zara, H&M, and several other retail and fashion organizations actively recruit on campus. The roles primarily focus on buying, visual merchandising, and operations.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi at the boys' hostel is poor, and there is no air conditioning; the same applies to the girls' hostel, where only a few rooms have AC. The humid weather makes air conditioning essential, so I do not recommend staying in the hostel. Classrooms are outdated and not equipped with the latest technology. The campus itself feels more like a factor, and there is a significant need for improvement.

Faculty: Faculty members are very knowledgeable in their field. The curriculum should be relevant, and specializations should begin in the second semester instead of the third. It's high time they updated it to the trimester system. The exams are not difficult.

Other: I chose this college because I want to pursue an MBA from a prestigious institution with a strong legacy. This college is affiliated with the ministry and has INI status, which provides a pathway to obtaining an INI degree. However, campus life here is not very enjoyable.

B.Des in Leather Goods and Accessories Design - Batch of 2028

4.8

4Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

It is good for design, especially for footwear, leather/ graphic design, or UI/UX.

Placements: This course has a 93% placement. The course has the highest placement compared to other departments. The highest package is 9 LPA, the lowest package is 3.5 LPA, and the average is around 5.5 LPA. Redtape, Bata, Almirah, Adidas, Zara, etc.,

Infrastructure: We have separate classrooms with high-tech machines for making products. Wi-Fi is not available, but classrooms are good with projectors. The institute also has a big library for students and faculty members, with all types of books available, like marketing, designing, time management, etc.

Faculty: Our teachers are well-educated and teach us very well. Also, during exam time, they help make the exams easier. Teachers teach the same as per the curriculum, and from what I have seen over the years, they make students industry-ready. Exams are not tough because the exam questions are related to practical knowledge, and teachers teach everything. However, some students fail because they don't focus on learning skills or are debarred due to low attendance.

Other: I chose this course because the leather lifestyle course have brand identity and brand visual design. Basically, on graphic and UI/UX design in the 3rd year. It also includes product design, which is why I chose this course. I hope that in the 3rd year, our faculty members will teach us very well. Excluding the fest, everything is organized in our college.

Satisfied with course content and infrastructure, but the fee is a little bit more.

Placements: There are very good companies who recruit, but there are also some companies who just want salesmen. I don't think after spending money on the course anybody wants to do a job as a salesman in any store. Companies like Decathlon, Aditya Birla Group, Reliance Footwear, Nykaa, Mirza Groups, etc., are some top companies that come for hiring. The course offers you jobs like designer, buyer, merchandiser, fashion forecaster, quality control, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good; there is a new building under construction, which is a new incubation center. I personally like the infrastructure and the course. The hostel mess is also good. The course we are studying is made by IITians. Wi-Fi covers the whole campus.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified; they have knowledge about their subject and the industry. Yes, it makes the students industry-ready. Practical work and theory are also well planned. I think out of 20, you need to score 7 to pass the exam. Orthopedic shoes making is one of the high demands these days, and it is in the course.

Other: I chose this course to become a footwear designer. This course is very rare in India.

Our college has good faculty members.

Placements: Our college provides good placements. Top recruiting companies are Uniqlo, Puma, Adidas shoppers, etc. Our college provides internships. Before COVID, there were nice placements on this campus but post-COVID, it dipped a bit but it's on its way to the top again.

Infrastructure: Our college has some of the best machines compared to other colleges. Our college provides us with many facilities like a Wi-Fi facility, labs, classrooms, and a library. The hostel facilities are not good. There is a lack of cleanliness in the hostel. The food served in the mess is not good.

Faculty: Our faculty members are the best, well-experienced, and helpful. The curriculum and syllabus have been revised last year to make them more design-centric, but before there was specialisation like production design or marketing. Semester exams are moderate and depend on the student's preparation.

Other: I opted for the footwear design course because in FDDI footwear is the main course and it gives us complete knowledge about footwear and its aspects. Our college provides various scholarships for students. Events are held in our college. Our college location is very accessible to the city. The hostel facilities should be improved.

MBA in Retail and Fashion Merchandise - Batch of 2022

3.2

3Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

I am not satisfied and I would not recommend students to take admission in it.

Placements: Around 30-40% of students are placed. The average salary package offered ranges from 3 LPA - 4 LPA. Lenskart, Admitkard, and Landmark are some of the top recruiting companies. Almost 100% of students get internships but they have to look for the internships themselves. The main companies in which the students interned are Armani Exchange, Scotch and Soda, etc. There is not much they are offering in this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not good, walls are full of leakage. Almost everything is broken in this college. Washrooms and cafeteria food are also not good. The classrooms are very hot and water coolers rarely work. They provide air-conditioner in classroom in last semester, but that does not make up for the three semesters, students have to sit in extreme heat.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but some of them are not interested in the betterment of students at all. Course curriculum is relevant, and it does make the students industry-ready. There is no practical knowledge and semester exams are fine. They are not difficult if students have gone through the syllabus. The passing percentage is 35%.

Review of Footwear Design and Development Institute.

Placements: Around 40-45% of students are placed. The average salary offered ranges from Rs 15,000 - Rs 20,000 per month. The highest salary offered ranges from Rs 40,000 - Rs 45,000 per month. This college gets the highest number of placements.

Infrastructure: Laboratories and classrooms are well-equipped with the latest technologies but maintenance is poor. Students get Wi-Fi facilities on the campus, and there is an IT laboratory with good facilities. The library is small but useful. The hostel facilities are available with mess and average food quality is provided. It has a garden area on both sides of the hostel. There is also a basketball ground and badminton area and other extracurricular activities are also available.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, and laboratory workers are well trained. Course curriculum is relevant. They give good training to students to be industry-ready, but students need to develop other software skills and work on it. Students could not be dependent on campus placements. Exams are not difficult if students attend classes regularly, they need to get atleast 6 CGPA to pass on to the next semester.

Other: This course will be valuable in the coming future. This college is famous for its footwear and merchandising field and also students get an international testing center here. Students will get an overall experience of how this industry works. Laboratory maintenance and facilities could be improved. There is also useful webinar and events. The campus crowd is average. Surroundings are good and peaceful.
