Modelling colleges in India

Of course not, you are not required to pursue a degree or Diploma in Modelling or any related course to pursue a career path in Modelling. However, it will help you in certain ways, like portfolio building, networking in the industry, makeup & Fashion knowledge, runway techniques learning, etc.

There are not many government-recognized colleges or institutes offering full-fledged Modeling courses in India. Though you can opt for options like National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), National School of Drama (NSD), and Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI). These institutes will offer you courses in related fields like Fashion Design, Film & TV, etc.

In my opinion, Mumbai at present is the best city in India to pursue a Modelling course if it comes within your budget. We all know Mumbai is India's entertainment and fashion hub, and it has the best career and networking options for budding Models. Other than Mumbai, you can also opt for cities like Delhi, Bangalore, and Kolkata with good career options.
