Design

The eligibility criteria of M.Des. from NIFT is given below.
Educational Qualification for Masters Programme in Design :- Undergraduate Degree in any discipline from any Institute /University recognized by law in India
or
Undergraduate Diploma of minimum three years duration from NIFT / NID.
So from above, If you have completed the three year of diploma from NIFT/NID. than can be eligible for M.Des course but can not get admission in final year of M.Des course.
Further admissions in M.Des courses are based on an entrance test conducted by NIFT.
The eligibility criteria of B.Des is 10+2 or 3 or 4-years diploma recognized by AICTE or a State Board of
Technical Education. So B.Des course is required 3-4 years of Engineering diploma courses of AICTE/State board of technical education. Hence you are not eligible for this course if not completed 10+2. The admissions in asked courses are also done on the basis of NIFT entrance exam.

Hi,I hope you are doing good. This might be a late reply since you posted your question 2 months ago.
What's making you change your stream of carrier? you want to continue in the fashion designing field or move back to software once you finish your degree?
If you're really interested in fashion designing, Go full-time. I don't think they offer part-time courses.
Assuming that you have done your Bachelors, Here are Postgraduate options for you: after BTech, you can do M.Ftech(master of fashion technology) or M.Des(master of design)
- For M.Des,you are supposed to have a diploma in design(from NIFT or NID's) or any other undergraduate degree.(12th+4 rule).
- For M.Ftech, you should have a BE/Btech degree or undergraduate degree from NIFT or NID's.
- CEED, which takes admission through GATE is only for engineering designing. If you are interested in apparel designing.
- For other designing fields like interior designing and industrial designing. Your BTech degree will help.
Hoping that this will help and you take the right decision.
Thank you,
