Army Institute of Fashion and Design

Careers in fashion are highly competitive, hopeful fashion designers must have a keen sense of business. You must know how to work with a team on projects, interact with different levels of management, and be able to work with difficult clients. Future fashion designers need to learn about business to obtain knowledge about the economics surrounding the fashion industry, learn how to market effectively, and negotiate a contract if they plan to start their own company or clothing line. As an alumnus of LPU, I had many friends who did fashion designing and are own working with top brands. LPU ranks amongst the top 100 institutions in India as per NIRF rankings. LPU has faculty from premier design institutes to sharpen design visualization and execution.

Many top Indian designers are now catering to this growing international demand for quality fashion products and accessories. In addition, for the demand for Indian garments, designer saris and textiles are also of great demand. Though both the universities are good in terms of academics but being an alumni of LPU let me explain the things in detail. There is 100% Placement every year where students are placed with retail, luxury, export, buying, craft sector, fashion houses, etc. Industry interface with leading brands for summer training, full-term optional/ compulsory internships, On-job training, study tours, and skill enhancement events and workshops are extensively integrated in the LPU curricula, to expose students to real work environments and provide them an opportunity to apply their learning in real life situations. This placement can be attributed to lots of factors like Handholding through Start-up School and Entrepreneurship: It is to set up new ventures, improve upon and modernize existing business, engage in social entrepreneurship / NGO. A unique course that gives wings to the students by providing them hand on experience. Student get chance to develop their own products and sell into the university own studio Panacha. School of Design organised summer internship programme where industry experts from various field related to fashion interacted with students and gave inside about the industry. Students get a chance to attend fashion weeks by FDCI where they get to work backstage with eminent designers and deal with buyers and several clients attending the show.
