The college campus is small, but placements and faculty members are good.
Placements: The college achieves 95–100% student placements. Most high-end packages go to marketing roles, while other domains receive decent or average packages. Some students get internships or placements at companies like Café Coffee Day, Amazon, and Ncircle. I am from batch 24–26, and placements are currently ongoing. Last year, the minimum package was 5 LPA, and the maximum was 48 LPA. Placements completely depend on the students’ performance in interviews.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is small. It includes two computer labs and two libraries. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. All classrooms have centralized AC. Students can check attendance and examination results on Digi campus, which allows more flexibility to student
Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable. Classroom teaching is okay, with more focus on communication skills, presentation skills, confidence, and practical knowledge. The passing percentage is 60%. Students must maintain 75–80% attendance is mandatory.

Best teachers, top Fashion Design College.
Placements: The top roles vary in different sectors, and since I am just in my first year, I am not very sure about the placement process, but from what I have heard, the college provides 100 percent placement assistance and has a good alumni network, and I am looking forward to when my time comes.
Infrastructure: The department is great with labs and proper equipment for Fashion Design, the classrooms are nice and well-ventilated, there is no hostel facility, but the administration can guide you regarding nearby stays, and there is a small canteen at my campus where we can usually find chips and cup noodles.
Faculty: The faculty is lovely, very helpful, and knowledgeable; they assist us with many assignments, exams, practical's, and more, and the curriculum is relevant as we are Fashion Design students with more practical work than theory, which I find enjoyable.

I am very dissatisfied with this college.
Placements: Placements were not given in any of the companies. Just the scope of the subject was explained. Students had to find jobs on their own. The college took zero responsibility for the placement of students. Teachers guided students on what options were available after B.Sc. (Botany).
Infrastructure: In our college, classrooms had basic facilities. Labs were well-maintained. Required books were available in the library. Each subject lab was separate, properly maintained, and had all the required equipment. There was also Wi-Fi in the college.
Faculty: Faculty was not very qualified. The English teacher was not able to speak basic English. The syllabus was not completed on time. Teachers rushed the syllabus at the last minute. Discipline was maintained during the exams. The exams were arranged properly.
Other: Our college was among the best in extracurricular activities. Cricket, kabaddi, chess, and carrom were played by students. Our college was famous for its street plays and drama.

Best fashion design college, skilled mentors.
Placements: I am in my second year currently. From what I have heard, the batch before our batch, almost everyone got placed, and a few of them opted for higher studies. The college provides a 100% placement assistance as well. Teachers guide us mostly regarding the right internship.
Infrastructure: The college is perfectly well put together. I find it Instagram-friendly, to be honest. On the aesthetics side, the college provides an adequate lab for all the assignments. The classrooms have screens for presentation and projections. There is a small canteen for fingerfood on campus too.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. There is no question about their qualification. They are highly knowledgeable and help us with the extra study materials, too. Best mentors. I find the course curriculum very industry-friendly because of how many workshops we have. The frequent industry visits are helpful too.

Great exposure, top fashion design college in Bangalore, and best teachers.
Placements: The placement drive does not start until we finish our final exams. Although some of the previous batches even had offers before the placement drive started, as they were interning at several places. Top recruiting companies are Myntra, Calvin Klein, Raymond and many more.
Infrastructure: The college is compact, and I love how they have fit in everything here perfectly. The classes have screens and beautiful glass benches. The labs are filled with machines, so there has never been an issue with our assignments. There is no hostel on the campus.
Faculty: The teachers are lovely, helpful and kind. Some of them have over 10 years of industry experience, and they help implement those in our studies as well. The exposure is one of the highlights. Although it's a lot of hard work, we get to design for many fashion shows.
