Fashion Design

For B.Des, NIFT is considered to be the best option. Other than that, you can go for NID, Pearl Academy, MAEER MIT, Symbiosis Institute or AAFT.

For internships or jobs, you need to have a degree in fashion designing, be that of any course. If not Master's degree, then at least Bachelor or diploma degree is a must.

Visit nift.ac.in which is the official site of NIFT. There you will find the option to register yourself. Fill in the details asked for registration and there you go!

Do that in which you have your interest and you think are capable of doing better than the other field. Follow your passion and yes fashion designing also gives job opportunities with good salary packages, sometimes even more than an engineer's package.

Just follow your dream and interest. Because if you have no interest in engineering then you won't be able to study properly and might regret later for wrong choice. If fashion is what you are interested in then you should definitely opt the same as this will be the deciding point of not only your career but your whole life.

Well, of course you need to be very good at English vocabulary which, for me is the key point to crack the GAT paper. Apart from English, one should practice class 10th level Maths.
General knowledge is important related to every field. Not only GK, but class 10th level history, geography, general science is also a part of the paper.
Regarding CAT, it doesn't matter if you are not very good at drawing, what matters is the idea and the concept one uses to depict something in particular through the drawing.

NIFT entrance exam is valid only for the NIFT colleges and it's branches in overall India.

Every institution which offers postgraduate course in the field of fashion designing and technology definitely have an entrance exam on the basis of which you can acquire a seat for yourself in your desired course.
