Hi Akash,
You need to qualify NIFT only if you are appearing for NIFT Institute. For IIJ, there is no entrance exam as such. You can directly apply to the college for admissions.

Leather designing is a field of real hard work, especially of physical strength.
The most important capability in this field is to have a brain to think beyond. As leather is something very difficult to work with, many a time people find themselves out of ideas while designing stuff off leather. So, it's very important to have the capability to think out of the box and make something new while never running out of ideas and designs.
Apart from this, yes it requires the other basic qualities.

Of course, leather designing is one of the major course under fashion designing. You come across so many things in your daily life, which are made of leather like footwear, jackets, carry bags and handbags, belts and a lot in clothing as well and minor things hard to imagine. All these are to be designed by a leather designer. It may sound very basic but leather designing is really tough and demands a very creative brain.

Basically, the Diploma courses are designed for the people who are currently in handloom or fashion sector. If you want to do anything, then I would suggest you to join Masters in Fashion Management or Technology. The average package was around INR 6.5 lakhs.

Yes, you have to give all the exams. The only exception case with you will be that you will have an advantage of an NRI quota. Or else, it will be a general ranking. And, yes you are eligible.

Hi Riya!
It is definitely possible but each fashion institute has its own eligibility criteria. Some may allow admission to a candidate hailing from any educational background while others would prefer a candidate who has done graduation in design field itself. You will have to check the criteria of all the colleges that you are interested in. For example: Pearl Academy will not consider your application for the Masters programme but NID and NIFT would accept the application as the admission criteria is solely dependent on how you perform in the entrance exam.
