Highlights
Minor Programme
A Minor Programme is an additional program of choice that can be pursued along with the main degree program. Students can register for this with the University. This is offered to meet the aspirations of high performing students.
Proctoral System
Under the Proctoral System, every student is assigned a faculty member as a Proctor or a mentor.
These mentors offer guidance, support and encouragement to students, helping them as they progress along their academic journey. From the choice of electives to their academic performance, from attendance to meeting their credit requirements, students can approach these mentors with any and every query.
Proctors also interact with parents/guardians and keep them updated on the progress of students.
To ensure that they reap the benefits of the Proctoral System, students are advised to be in regular contact with their Proctors.
Innovation Centre
At the Innovation Centre, students team up with faculty members to bring their innovative ideas to life.
Ideas are assessed based on their relevance to — and impact on — society. These are then translated into working projects that are entered in national and international competitions, and for registration as patents.
Over its 21 years of existence, the Faculty of Fashion Design has ensured that students gain access to industry while ensuring academic rigour, offering students a program that —
