Hi Athul Saji, Leave the Idea of Outside India. Present pandemic situation is getting worse day by day. Better to stay here in India probably at Home (May or may not be for this session). I would advise you to appear in an exam of UCEED. You never know when the luck is with you so you must try for NIFD first then after you must have plan B in your hand. In North India one of the premier institutions is a Lovely Professional University it is situated at Jalandhar in Punjab. Believe me, they have developed the habit to produce the students completely industry ready not only in engineering field but in fashion technology too. In fact lovely professional University has introduced scholarship for those who survived from corona virus up to the worth rupees 20 crore. Lovely professional University is providing scholarship to the candidates on the percentage basis of their previous two qualifications. For example, if a candidate has is seeking admission in graduation then University will ask candidates percentage in 12th class and 10th class.
