The course is quite beginner-friendly!Many students join without knowing stitching or sketching properly. The first year focuses on basics like fabric knowledge, hand stitches, basic pattern making, and fashion illustration. Faculty don't assume prior experience and teach everything step by step. Students are encouraged to make mistakes early so they learn properly. By the end of the first year, most students feel significantly more confident than when they started.

Fashion Design is more time-intensive than many theory-based courses.Students often spend long hours in studios, especially near submissions. It requires physical stamina as well as creativity. However, students who genuinely enjoy design usually find the workload challenging but rewarding.

Sketches are evaluated based on concept clarity, proportion, detailing, and improvement over time.Faculty focus on whether a student is developing rather than whether they are perfect artists. Even students who struggle with drawing improve steadily through practice and feedback.
