Hello,
Mahatma Jyoti Rao Phoole is a private university that operates from Jaipur. It began its journey from a small place as a college in 1993 and went on to become a university in the year 2009, merely sixteen years later, on campus spread across 100 acres. Its primary focus is on agri-based courses but then a university can flourish if it offers as wide a bouquet of courses as it can and hence has ended up with many streams of study including design.On the other hand, Amity University-Jaipur can into being in 2008 on almost 150 acre campus. The Amity as a name is very well known across India. It offers credit-based courses that give wide choice to the students in selecting courses. It too offers a wide bouquet of courses. To conclude, it's difficult to say which one is better than other in design! Though Amity has been declared as the best private university of Rajasthan, it's neither here nor there since it does not throw any light relative merits of their design courses. I feel that both are on the same level and a student should select the one which is most convenient to him/her.

The Bachelor's degree in Textile Technology is itself a full-fledged programme of 4 years duration. It is a discipline of engineering that deals with the production and manufacturing of the textiles. Although the programme covers every aspect of the textile manufacturing process, one can take up some short-term course alongside the Bachelor's programme to upgrade one's own skills. There are many short-term courses offered by Pearl Academy, NIFT and other institutions that can help in acquiring useful skills and have a better prospect in the career ahead.
1. Since computers are important in every field and textiles are also designed digitally now-a-days, you can opt for a course in CAD for textile. It is a 6-month part-time course by NIFT and can be availed in all its branches.
2. A candidate from textile technology can totally get into manufacturing and merchandising as well and own a business of textiles. Hence, it will be a good option to take up a parallel course in apparel merchandising or apparel production management.

You do not have to pursue any additional course along with Bachelors in Visual Arts. Fine Arts is, theoretically at least, a broad category. However, in order to use it for anything except painting, sculpting or working as a consultant or in an art gallery or museum, then you would probably have to add some other kinds of courses, or even degrees. In fact, even to work at a high level in a museum requires further study in that field.
But with additional study, then you could certainly teach, or go into graphic design, or interior design, or almost any other kind of field requiring design or art. And in fact, many businesses and corporations are today attracted to MBA with art backgrounds - so an art degree can be an excellent adjunct to almost any field of endeavor.
Passing out Viscom subjects is not too difficult, so spend your time to learn and earn and develop the networking!

Hi, Footwear industry is largely divided three segments: designing, manufacturing and marketing. Designers handle the creative part of the job that is designing styles and patterns. They are hired as technical designers who have formal training in shoe pattern-making, cutting, designing and sample preparation, or as stylist designers. They have to be aware of the international fashion trends and have the ability to conceptualise a saleable product. The retail sector holds a promising future for the professionals trained in this field.
India today presents itself as a gold mine for any category, the footwear industry being no different. In the last decade we have seen an increase in discretionary income, a strong awareness of fashion sense through availability of international fashion media and increase in international travel. All these factors have led to a more fashion conscious customer who considers shoes and accessories as (if not more) important as clothes. A quick look at numbers substantiates this fact. Today the India footwear industry stands at Rs 24.1 thousand crores, a healthy 20 per cent growth over last year.
Following are the companies who hire Footwear Designers in India- Super house Kanpur U.P- Bangalore, KA- VKC Group Division II Kerala- Condor Foot wear India, Surat, GJ-RSPL Ltd Kanpur-Footwear Design & Development Institute- Delhi /NCR- Bata India Ltd, Gurgaon- Varita India Pvt Ltd, Pune- Nike- Lotus Footwear Ltd- Apache Footwear LtdThough there is a large number of vacancies, designers eventually start their own business.
Since the nature of job prospects in footwear designing is very diverse, the remuneration can vary tremendously. Initially, one can expect a starting salary somewhere around Rs. 10,000 - 12,000 per month. International players offer higher pay packages to freshers which can range between Rs. 15,000 - 20,000 per month. Independent footwear designers can generate revenue depending upon the nature of their assignments. Entrepreneurs in this field can make hefty earnings per annum depending upon the size and nature of their business.

Hi,
I may be the best person to answer this question as I have been through the NIFT interview. It was not that interesting as I expected but, was really entertaining.
It started with:
1) Tell your educational background
2) Why did you decide to switch from (your field) to fashion?
3) How are you going to align your previous education with fashion industry?
4) How pursuing Master from NIFT will boost your career?
6) What line of career would you choose after the completion of the course? I was well prepared for all the above questions so answered quickly with confidence. Then suddenly interviewer asked, Do you watch movies? I said yes, I am really fond of watching movies and Fashion is my favorite movie (In excitement or you can say to impress), and then I was dead with the cross questions because I had no idea about it apart from Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Rannaut.
He asked about the director, producer, costume designer and so on. I was speechless and later I admitted the truth.
He started laughing and said don't worry I won't cut your numbers.
So, overall It was a great experience and I watched Fashion too.
