Hi,
I am not very sure whether one can get good placement opportunities after completing Masters in designing from State School of Design or not. You should do it from a place where it's worth paying fees and you can get to learn enough.If you want to do Bachelor's in designing only then there are much better colleges for it like NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology ), NID (National Institute of Design), IIT - CEED (Common Entrance Examination for Design). These colleges are design specialised and will give you better career opportunities. These all are government colleges and comes under top 50 design colleges all over the world. One can easily get a starting salary of around 3 LPA.I hope you will make a good decision.

Hi,
First of all there is nothing like a successful designer like thing. They are all successful businessmen, not merely designers. To make a name in the fashion industry, especially in a country like India then you need to think like a businessman, not like a fashion designer. You can outsource things rather to make and design them for yourself. Search for the vendor, who can make garments for you. One needs to think about customer point of view and then design smartly according to the customers need. You can also do some short Diploma courses from colleges like NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) or from wherever you prefer to do it from. Some of the Diploma courses you can pursue are:
- Fashion designing
- Apparel designing
- Styling
- Fashion history
- Entrepreneurship
- Fashion marketing
- Apparel production
- Textile designing
- Fashion management
I hope this will help you.

Hi,
Go for higher studies or pursue for a job after completing Bachelors in science jewelry design and management. If you want to do government jobs or you are very keep to study further then you should go for higher studies. Otherwise, if you want to do private jobs only, then it's better you start early because in industry, experience is always more valuable than a Master's degree. So, why to pay fee for another two years? It's better you earn money and add up to your experience because what you learn in the industry is totally different than what you learn at college. Jewelry designing is more of a practical subject which you learn with experience more.
Whatever you choose to do, just make sure what you want from your life. I hope you make a good decision.
