Although, You can proceed your education from NIFD via qualifying UCEED exam or there are so many other prominent Institutes like in North India there is LPU. Lovely Professional University is located in Phagwara place nearby Jalandhar city of Punjab state. With provided best infrastructure to learn new extents in this profession they produce a quality experts within in the gestation period of course duration. I have attended one of their Annual graduating Fashion show where students were the show stopper, models those were doing marvelous ramp walk and they were fashion designers also. What if you are a Native of Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal, Haryana, or Chandigarh then preferably I would suggest you to go for LPU. Not just because of distance but LPU do have such potential to make you ready to take good opportunity in this profession in India as well as abroad. ! In LPU, Fashion technology is not only limited to garments or glamour inside the campus only. Students are getting exposure to garment manufacturing companies, fashion houses, export units etc. Providing good placements after the completion of their studies has become a good habit of LPU. All the best.
