So, have you decided to pursue a career in designing? Specifically, in fashion designing? If you have, it can be a very lucrative profession provided you graduate from the right college. But, how do you select the right college? Every college claims to be the best college, and every college claims to have the most promising career options. We intend to help you out with this dilemma and make the right choice. To do this, we have provided you with a few factors you must consider before selecting the right college.

Placements

One of the most important factors that a college must provide is placements and placement assistance. Before selecting a college, make sure you check their placement history. Also, to get a more accurate picture, you can contact some seniors or alumni of the college.

Career guidance

Confusion is the de facto state of the youth. There is nothing wrong with this. You are confused as you lack the necessary experience. This is why you should check on the college’s website or get in touch with the placement cell to see if they offer career guidance.

Technology

We are living in a technology-driven world. Every career choice is going to involve some use of technology. The fashion industry is not far behind.
Make sure the college you are applying to, provides you with training on the recent tools and techniques used in the fashion designing industry.

Curriculum

Fashion is a discipline that changes at the fastest rate. What was considered fashionable yesterday, may be considered outdated today. As a fashion designer, you must be up to date with the latest trends. So, while selecting a college, ensure that it includes all the latest fashion trends in the curriculum.

Fees

The fee is another essential factor to consider. If the college you like is expensive, make sure it provides a good ROI.

Faculty and alumni

A college is only as good as its faculty and the alumni network. Make sure the college you are getting in, has a well-experienced faculty and good alumni network. These are the prerequisites of a successful career no matter what the domain.

By now, we hope you have a good understanding of the matter and are equipped to make the right choice. Several fashion designing colleges in Pune offer good courses and could be a wonderful place to start your career. We hope you make the choice that benefits you the most.
Best of luck with your career!
