Note: The above information is taken from official sources. However, it is subject to change.

I believe a BDes degree in Fashion Design has more employment and higher salary prospects than a BA, especially when it comes to the creative and technical elements in the Fashion field. A BA in Fashion Design is more focused on the theoretical aspect of Fashion, like principles, history, and focus. For BA Fashion Design graduates, it is advisable to pursue further education, like a master's degree or a Diploma course.

The Round 2 cutoff for IIT Hyderabad BDes admission is 42 for the OBC AI quota and 19 and 11, respectively, for the SC AI and ST AI quota candidates. For the OBC AI category, the Round 1 UCEED cutoff 2025 was also 42. IIT Hyderabad's BDes admission is done through the UCEED entrance exam, followed by a counselling process.

IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi accept the UCEED exam for B.Des admission, wherein IIT Bombay offers B.Des via its centre called Industrial Design Centre (IDC) and IIT Delhi offers a B.Des course via its own campus. In 2025, the last round of UCEED cutoff rank was 14 for B.Des admission at IIT Bombay. For IIT Delhi, the cutoff rank was 41. So, considering the ranks, IIT Bombay was the most competitive among the aspirants for B.Des admission as compared to IIT Delhi. To make an informed decision, candidates can also compare other parameters, such as tuition fees and the median salary of both these colleges.
