Fashion Design

You can only pursue undergraduate Diploma after completing class 10th from colleges like ITI. An undergraduate Diploma wouldn't help you much in your professional career. It is better if you complete your class 12th in whatever stream you like and then apply for a Bachelor's programme:B.Des in fashion designing or in interior designing or lifestyle and accessory designing or whatever you would love to.
A Bachelor's programme will give you a better understanding about design, and also you will have much better career prospectus. That will enhance your skills as a professional designer, so that you can get good job opportunities. Every well recognized college of design conducts campus placements. After doing a Bachelor's degree, you will easily get a package of INR 3 Lacs per annum.
