Practical Design & Vocational Learning Highlights
Experience our hands-on approach to education. From runway showcases to industry site visits, see how we prepare you for a real-world career.
Our annual design show, Memorabilia, is where student creativity takes center stage. This stunning winged creation from our fashion design program shows the level of artistry and imagination we nurture in our students.
We believe in learning by doing. Here, one of our fashion students gets hands-on experience with traditional block printing techniques during an industrial visit, connecting classroom theory with real-world craft.
Your future career is our priority. In this video, our IFTD Director, Dr. Indu Gupta, explains the comprehensive placement assistance we provide, connecting students with top designers and companies like Livspace and Manish Malhotra.
Practical learning is at the core of our interior design course. Our students are on-site, learning the principles of Vastu Shastra and how to apply remedies like pyramids to create harmonious living spaces.
Hear directly from our alumni. Sameer Bhagat, a graduate of our graphic design and video animation course, shares how the practical skills and supportive faculty helped him launch his freelance career.
Our students get exposure to the biggest names in the industry. This is a glimpse from a Khadi runway show hosted by the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), where our students learned about sustainable couture firsthand.
Ready to turn your passion into a profession? Our 3-month certificate in Fashion Styling is designed for aspiring stylists to learn trend curation and build a strong portfolio under the guidance of industry experts.
About this collection
We believe skills are built in the field, not just behind a desk. Whether you are conducting on-site Vastu assessments in Kirti Nagar or managing fabric printing in our labs, our students step into professional roles long before they graduate. We bridge the gap between classroom theory and industry requirements through constant practical training.
Learning by Doing
We move beyond standard textbooks. Our curriculum is designed to give you direct exposure to industry workflows. In our fashion and textile programs, you get hands-on experience with handloom operations, dyeing, and printing techniques, often visiting Weavers' Service Centres to understand the craft firsthand.
For our interior design students, this means leaving the classroom to visit active construction sites. You learn to handle real-world challenges, such as implementing Vastu Shastra remedies or managing electrical and plumbing layouts on-site.

- Memorabilia: Our annual design show where students present their collections on a professional runway.
- Exhibitions: Regular opportunities to display art, window merchandising, and graphic design portfolios.
