M.Des. in Fashion Design - Batch of 2024

4.8

5.0Placements5.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

Great exposure for fashion students with a strong focus on portfolio building.

Placements: I completed my M.Des in Fashion Design. Around 98% of students from our post-graduation batch got placed or landed good industry roles through their final semester internships. Others started their own ventures. Top lifestyle brands and export firms like Aditya Birla Fashion, Reliance Brands, Fabindia, and independent designer labels visited the campus. Most of us got roles as assistant designers, fashion merchandisers, or luxury retail consultants. Some of my batchmates interned with FDCI during Lakmé Fashion Week and India Couture Week. The on-campus placement drive was helpful.

Infrastructure: The fashion labs, sewing rooms, pattern-making studios, and Mac labs were spaces we used almost every week. Most assignments involved practical work, so access to these facilities was important. I stayed in the hostel nearby, which really helped me, as my roommates were very helpful and helped me become my best self. Overall, the hostel was decent, clean, and safe too. The campus facilities were well maintained. There were good collaborative spaces to work on projects with classmates.

Faculty: Faculty members were quite involved throughout the design process. They would review concepts regularly and push us to refine our work before final presentations. The curriculum covered everything from fashion illustration and garment construction to textiles, trend forecasting, and portfolio development. Most evaluation happened through submissions, collections, juries, and presentations. It could get hectic during deadline weeks, but that was where I learned the most. The faculty was also accessible beyond college hours and very supportive.

Other: This was probably the strongest part of the course for me. Students regularly got opportunities to present their work to industry professionals during showcases and reviews. This helped us understand industry expectations early on. I also saw a few students receive sport opportunities and internship discussions during these interactions.

Good learning experience for interior design students

Placements: I was part of the B.Des Interior & architecture design batch(2023). By the final year many of my classmates had either secured placements or were containing with internships at interior design studios, architecture firms and design consultancies. The internships during the course were quite useful because they gave us a better understanding of how projects are handled in real work environment.

Infrastructure: We spent a lot of time in the design studios working on layouts, concepts, material boards and models. The campus has the facilities required for project work and classrooms are well maintained with wifi access campus. I stayed in the hostel during my course and had a positive experience. The rooms were comfortable, basis amenities were available and it was convenient being close to campus specially during submission periods when we had to spend extra hours working on projects. Since many students were from different cities, it was also easy to make friends and settle into college life.

Faculty: The faculty guided us throughout the course and were approachable whenever we needed feedback on our designs. The curriculum balances theory with practical learning so there is a lot of focus on studio work, presentations, site-related learning and portfolio development. Assessments are mainly through jury presentations, project submission and continuous evaluation. It feels challenging in the beginning but if you stay regular with your work and deadlines, it becomes manageable.

Other: I think the exposure we got during the course was quite helpful. Apart from regular classes, there were guest sessions, workshops and project review where industry professionals would come and share their experiences. Listening to people who are actively working in the field gave a different perspective compared to what we learned in class. we also got chance to showcase our work and receive feedback from people outside our faculty. This useful because it helped us understand how other look at our designs.

Pearl Academy, first batch of M.Des Fashion Design, ongoing semester 2.

Placements: I have not reached that stage yet, just started my second semester. But I have heard from my seniors that based on your merit, placements are as promised. Roles offered could be design intern, stylist, merchandiser, textile designer, etc. 20.27 LPA is the highest offered package.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is great. Everything is as shown during the campus tour. I did not opt for the hostel, so I don't know about that. There isn't a textile lab, but there are three computer labs, one of which has all MAC computers. There is consistent Wi-Fi for students. The library is accessible and has a good collection. Classrooms are decent. The campus is continuously air-conditioned.

Faculty: Faculty members are really great. All of them come from experience, and it can be seen in their work and teaching methods. The course curriculum is relevant as it not only educates us about textile and design but also helps us learn about starting a business. The semester exams are medium in difficulty. The passing marks for both written and practical exams are 40 out of 100.

Other: I am a part of the first batch that will be getting a degree upon completing the course. There are a few administrative issues due to the involvement of a university, but other than that, it's like what any other college offers. 75% attendance is mandatory, and the staff is supportive. Initially, I had opted for the M.Des Fashion Communication course. Two to three days after paying the first semester fees, I got a call from the admin saying this course has been canceled for this year and advised me to opt for another course. Although it's working out for me, I feel this is important information.

The honest & unbiased review on Pearl Academy.

Placements: The college is in Mumbai it is the biggest advantage for many fashion brands and big fashion events and most importantly, Bollywood is located in Mumbai. College has a lot of contacts with designers and fashion brands, but firstly, we need to work under well-known fashion designers Masaba Gupta, Rutu Bosle, Anita Dongre, and Agarwal for at least 2 months. But I feel regret after doing this degree, spending 20 lacs on it, and now getting a job with a 2-3 lacs package. If you are placed in a good package, within the month you get laid off because they don't have money to pay you. NIFT is much better in terms of placement.

Infrastructure: Our institute has tree recreational rooms for indoor activities between our hectic daily schedule. In addition to medical services, there is a canteen and a stationary facility. We are part of various fashion social media groups. Labs, stitching, and all other facilities are available. Yes, I opted for a for a hostel because I belong to another state, rooms are given on a first-come, first-served basis, facilities and amenities are good, and all basic facilities are available. No, we do not have any sports. Our schedule is very hectic, and we do not have much time to play sports.

Faculty: Pearl is a good institute; teachers are good; it is required to work very hard, which is not a bad thing; the other thing is that it has a lot of nepotism; in one semester, work loads are unbeatable. It is extremely hard to develop all skills. Stitching, pattern making, and fashion illusions, if possible, try to learn them before joining. Keep consistent in class and have good grades in the teacher's books. Projects and assignments are very important because they have high marks.

Other: I want to go for NIFT but because of my lower marks, I will not get admission there so I will join Pearl Academy. The things I wish would improve it are not in my hands but mostly covered in my review.

Infrastructure: When I talk about the facilities and the infrastructure it is almost at par with other big colleges in the country, this college has not had that many fancy things and neither anything less from them but yes the one thing that our college takes care of is food, The food served is best in quality.

Faculty: The curriculum covers a wide range of topics from design, arts, and media, and also the exams conducted are mostly practically based the lessons learned are directly applied in those exams and we are also given group projects regularly to keep us with the industry standard.

Our college's faculty members are very supportive of students.

Placements: The placement committee at our college is a dedicated team, and they provide placements to all the students, depending on different skill sets. Many top fashion design firms visit here like Myntra, Fab India, H&M, Zara and many others. They have more than a 95% of track record in placements, and I am eager to get the opportunities they offer in my final year.

Infrastructure: Labs and classrooms are spacious and give comfortable spaces for students to do their work. The Wi-Fi is on every floor and has decent connectivity overall, with set limitations for certain websites. It is more than enough for college work. The canteen is on the ground floor and has a huge selection of different varieties of food.

Faculty: Faculty members are very supportive and nurturing to the batch. They have great industry experience too, and they help students with their project work actively with mentoring sessions as well. They also organise masterclasses that help students in different industry-related topics like team frameworks, creativity enhancement, etc.
