Hey! I’m a Class 12 Commerce student from Haryana planning to pursue B.Des in 2027.
I’m interested in **Fashion Communication, branding, visual merchandising, brand experience, creative direction and visual storytelling**. I’m looking for a college with good **actual teaching, industry exposure, internships and career opportunities**, rather than just good marketing.
My main requirements are:
* Good reputation among actual students/alumni * Strong industry exposure * Good internship/placement opportunities * Reasonable ROI * Located in/around a proper city * Relevant to branding/communication/VM rather than pure fashion designing * I don't want a course that's heavily focused on product design/engineering/technical subjects.
**Could current students or alumni recommend colleges that genuinely fit this?**
I'd especially appreciate:
* Colleges you would genuinely recommend * Colleges you would avoid and why * Your experience with placements/internships * Whether the fees were worth it * What you actually learned there vs what was promised
**Please suggest colleges beyond the obvious NIFT/Pearl options too. I'm trying to discover colleges I may have missed.** #art source
