Fashion Design

Since there is so much of competition in design entrance exams nowadays, it can't be said which is the best coaching for the preparation.
For Pearl Academy, the institute does not accommodate any preparatory centre or coaching and moreover, the exam syllabus is almost the same as that of other design entrance exams, so you may join any coaching. There are many coaching centres offering full-time classroom preparatory courses as well as crash courses of 10, 14 and 28 days. I would suggest opting for a full-time classroom in any of the following coachings you like: AFA- Academy of Fashion and Arts, BRDS- Bhanwar Rathore Design Studio, Pahal design. These coachings offer preparation for Pearl Academy, NIFT, NID and many other design entrance tests, they are considered to be the best as they make the student practice a lot more than one can imagine. They will prepare you well for objective as well as the subjective part.apart from this you can also go through teachmewell.co.in which has the option of online courses as well.

Since textile is something used in daily needs, it is a growing topic now and then. A textile designer can be employed in the garment, fashion, home furnishing and the interiors segment among other industries. The textile industry in India is evolving from the handloom, power loom and craft sectors to newer areas, like the paper and automobile industries. For example, automotive textile deals with the fabric used in car interiors. For this, one should have three knowledge of the fabric to be used in the car seats which should be thick, durable, etc. Similarly, in other subfields, the textile is of great importance and has a very good scope regarding employment. For instance, one should know that Surat in Gujarat has one of the most known textile set up that employs about 40% of the population working in the textile sector.

Hi,
I think you should go for a post-graduation Diploma in textile design because you already studied Fashion Designing for three years, now you would not learn anything new in PG in fashion designing. Till now, you know about how to use textile in garments and how to design garments, but textile designing will now give you the opportunity to learn about how textile will be used in other industries and what are the other possibilities of a textile. Now, doing textile designing will add up to your skills and you also get to know about textiles more. It will also help you in getting better job offers. Also, textile designing studies are the best in India because we have a rich heritage culture in textile we are the largest producer in jute, and second, third the largest in silk and cotton. So, it's the best option you can go for in India,
