Government institutes like the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and the National Institute of Design (NID) are known for offering quality design education. The fees for these institutes are relatively lower compared to private institutions. The fees for an undergraduate program may range from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of rupees per semester, depending on the institute.
Private design institutes, such as Pearl Academy, may have higher tuition fees. The fees for private institutions can range from a few lakhs to several lakhs of rupees for the entire duration of the course. Some private institutes may also offer scholarships or financial aid based on merit.
The duration of footwear design courses in India can vary. Undergraduate programs typically last for three to four years, while postgraduate programs may range from one to two years. The fees are often structured on a yearly or semester basis.
In addition to tuition fees, students may need to consider additional costs such as hostel or accommodation fees, materials and equipment costs (for projects and practical work), and living expenses.
Some institutes offer scholarships or financial aid programs for students based on merit, financial need, or other criteria. Prospective students are encouraged to explore these options and check the eligibility criteria for any available scholarships.
