If you completed your 12th grade last year and would like to pursue a career in the world of fashion designing, then LPU would be a great choice! They are offering a very nice Bachelor of Design (B.Des) in Fashion Design. It is very design-forward and experience-based, and they cover everything from sketching to stitching, knowledge of textiles and the experience of marketing your own line. LPU also has nice labs and very experienced faculty who walk you through every aspect of fashion designing. To apply, you simply need to check the LPU official website to find the admission dates. Usually, they would want your 12th-grade results, and a creative ability test or an interview could be required. Simply fill out the online application and upload the supporting documents for admission complete with entrance requirements. Other universities would have similar viable programs, but my experience has led me to believe that LPU offers a solid programme that offers a nice balance of contemporary design-based experience vs. an engaging yet laid-back feel to the campus. If fashion is your passion, you would be able to learn all of the skills and educate yourself for the fashion career opportunities you are interested in with the programming at LPU for your degree!

Hello there, Since you've completed your 12th, you're absolutely eligible to go for a bachelor's course in fashion designing, and it's a great time to dive into this creative and dynamic field. The course I'd personally recommend is Bachelor of Design (B.Des) in Fashion Design. It's usually a 4-year full-time programme that blends creativity with technical skills, giving you exposure to everything from garment construction, pattern making, fashion illustration, digital design, and even business and branding. At a university like LPU, for instance, you'll find this course structured really well. They don't just teach the theory—they give you a ton of hands-on practice in modern labs, real-time industry projects, and even opportunities to showcase your designs in fashion shows. You'll also learn to use professional software that's widely used in the industry. To pursue this course, all you need is to have completed 10+2 in any stream. Most universities, including LPU, will ask you to take an entrance exam like LPUNEST, and sometimes there may be an interview or portfolio review too. Once you clear that, you go through the admission process, submit documents, and you're in! If fashion is where your passion lies, this is a solid path to turn that into a career. I hope this helps.
