Hello Sakshi,
Your question is very relevant to the students planning for an undergraduate programme. While B.Des in Fashion Design is a 4 year degree programme, a BBA course is of 3 years duration in most universities and colleges. Also, a lot of BBA programs offer electives in Marketing, Entrepreneurship etc. At IILM University Gurugram, both BBA and B. Des Fashion Design courses are offered. In case of a B. Des programme, the first year typically lays the foundation of design concepts before letting you choose your area of specialisation (e. g. Product / Fashion / Interior / Interaction). While in a BBA programme you learn subjects such as Marketing, Entrepreneurship, International Business, Finance and Accounting, Economics to name a few. Liberal Education at IILM University however lets you choose papers from both streams. So for instance you can pursue a B. Des in Fashion Design and choose papers from BBA such as Marketing to understand branding, business development or learn advertising that can help in promoting your Fashion brand as an employee or as a freelance designer. Similarly you could take papers from Fashion Business Management while pursuing a BBA degree as your main course. However, in both cases it is preferred that you pursue a Masters programme to better your career prospects. The Admissions are open for both courses. To know more, log on to www.iilm.edu.in

Fashion Designing programme is offered by a lot of colleges. Having said that, choose a decent college that would help you to develop new skills. Based on my own experience I would refer you to consider PCTE Group of Institutes as it provides a lot of practical exposure to its students. I in fact have some friends who have done fashion designing degree from PCTE and the college has indulged us in a variety of activities, games, exercises, workshops like RAWAR, Consumer Hub to name a few. Fashion designing students are even given some practical assignments and the knowledge and practice level that they have is much more than other fashion designing students that I have seen. The three year degree programme gives a lot of exposure, students learned a lot of skills that they can use at their workplace. They got a lot of exposure not only academically but also in enhancing my overall personality along with their personal skills. They have explored people from 42 countries under one roof. Students do not have to go out of my country to experience the global environment. So checkout PCTE if you want the exposure and want to enhance your personality.
