Good academics and supportive faculty, with scope for better facilities and placements.
Placements: Around 50% of the students in our course got placed. The average package offered is nearly Rs. 20,000 per month, while the highest and the lowest packages are not known currently.

Infrastructure: The college provides classrooms and a library with decent facilities for students, along with basic Wi-Fi and lab access.

Sports and medical facilities are limited, but overall, the campus is well-maintained for academic purposes.

Best college for fashion designing, great placement, and good infrastructure.
Placements: I have just completed my first year, so students in my batch have more than enough time to get placed. On average, the package that has been offered is somewhere around 4.2 LPA. Since the college provides 100% placement assistance. Almost all the students get placed, and some get PPO from their internship too.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is one of the best things here. Although I am not a student of interior design, but I know when I see a good one. Every class is modelled after the type of course. There are projectors and equipments for each course in the designed classrooms.
Faculty: Teachers are indeed helpful. I have a better bond with the teachers than with our classmates. They are knowledgeable and very kind. Asiya ma'am is our HOD, and she guides us through so many things, from fashion shows to portfolios. The curriculum is so industry-friendly, filled with practical work and workshops.

It's basically a good college worthy of the fee.
Placements: In the previous year, hardly 5 to 6 students were placed. I really don't have an idea about salary but the highest is 7 LPA may be. Recruiting companies are EY, Amazon, and Flipkart. We are required to attend an internship which will be provided by the college. The highest role they offer is manager, according to me.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available everywhere but we have LAN available. If we need we can get it connected anywhere, not an issue. Library has a good collection, and if it's still not enough can be borrowed from another library. We get the worst canteen food ever. I personally found a cockroach in the food.
Faculty: Teachers are a lot helpful, they are always helpful. You can approach them whenever you need. No portions are out of date, not just this college whole. Indian education system is outdated. It's affiliated with Bengaluru City University so it's easy. Around 70% of them pass.
Other: I could talk about scholarship for sports, they encourage a lot. I got 50% scholarship last year.

The college has best fashion designing diploma, great placement, top-notch faculty.
Placements: It has just been a few months, so I cannot say much about the placement. I was told that the college provides 100% placement. Although the average package varies based on the quality of students, sometimes students get PPO from their internships as well.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is really good, and every classroom caters to the stream. If I start with the labs, it will be never-ending. There are so many machines and computers, which really help us navigate in case one of the machines is not working. As a Diploma student, I never really had much use of a library.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. Within only two months, we have become so close to the teachers and administration. The friendly relationship really helps us navigate our lives in college. They are very knowledgeable, too, especially Asiya Ma'am. She has been in the industry for more than 10 years, and she guides us with the same enlightenment.
