Fashion Design

hi,

The latest cutoff details for B.Des in Fashion Design & Technology at Parul University are not released in the form of fixed marks or ranks like NIFT/NID. Instead, admission is selection-based, not cutoff-based.

For 2025–2026 admissions, candidates must:

• Pass 10+2 in any stream (minimum passing marks)
• Qualify the Design Aptitude Test (DAT) conducted by the university
• Clear a portfolio/interview round

So, rather than a strict cutoff, your creative performance in DAT + portfolio quality decides selection. Competition level varies each year, but since eligibility is flexible, selection depends more on creativity than marks.

In comparison, Lovely Professional University (LPU) offers B.Des programs with a structured admission process through LPUNEST or direct admission criteria, along with scholarships based on performance. LPU is known for strong infrastructure, industry exposure, and placement support in design fields, making it a popular private university option for fashion aspirants.

Pearl Academy offers a solid Global Luxury Brand Management programme with strong focus on branding, retail strategy, consumer behavior, and international exposure. It is industry-oriented with internships and collaborations, though fees are on the higher side.

For the entrance exam, expect questions on general aptitude, logical reasoning, English comprehension, basic business awareness, and creativity. The interview may include questions on why luxury brands, career goals, and awareness of brands/trends.

In comparison, Lovely Professional University (LPU) offers business and design programs with broader affordability and structured campus learning options.

Placement for fashion/design at Parul University is decent but not very strong compared to top design colleges. The university shows good overall placement stats like an average package of around 4–6 LPA and many recruiters visiting campus, but this data is for all courses combined, not specifically fashion design.

For design students, placements depend heavily on your portfolio, creativity, and internships. The university provides exposure through fashion shows, industry projects, and internships, but many students also go for freelancing or start their own work instead of campus jobs.
