B.Des. in Fashion Communication - Batch of 2027

4.4

Good placements and course curriculum.

Placements: The percentage of students placed is above 80%. The highest salary package goes up to 15 Lacs per annum while the average package is 7-10 Lacs. Companies like IBM, TATA, Deloitte, Kunal Rawal, Black Lion Group, TCS, Zouk, Shopper Stop, and many more recruit students from SID. Everyone in our course is supposed to do an internship in our 7th semester and the faculty helps in finding internships. Roles offered in the fashion communication course are art direction, graphic designer, visual designer, stylist, visual merchandiser, fashion seller, and many more.

Infrastructure: Facilities like free Wi-Fi, access to computer labs with the latest technologies like Macs installed in them, and digital software for learning the work are all provided by the college. Classrooms are spacious with huge windows. Libraries have access to all the resources designers need to get more knowledge and work on their projects. Hostels are okay, but the messy food is not good and can make you sick sometimes; otherwise, the rooms are amazing and they are cleaned every day. Medical facilities are also available on our campus. Sports and games have their own clubs in the college.

Faculty: Teachers are very interactive, they are young and therefore connect with students more, and they are very helpful in assignments and will also open you to opportunities in the industry. The course curriculum is designed in a way that students get the maximum knowledge that they would actually need working in the industry. Juries are held in semester exams which have industry experts coming to analyze students' work and give feedback. The passing percentage is 35% and the difficulty level of exams is medium. The faculty helps you find internships and in doing side projects if you ask them.

Other: I chose this course because I enjoyed studying fashion, especially from a business perspective, and digital design excites me for creating something for society. Studying brands and their branding strategies and then helping them to grow more with the help of my design skills is what I want to do. One thing I like the most about our course is that we get to do assignments that put us out there, learning the actual workings of the fashion industry. Improvements can be made by adding more industry talks with people from the industry and the washrooms can become cleaner than they already are.
