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,
