The Department of Textile Design offers two undergraduate degree programmes:
The Bachelor of Textile Design with a focus on Home/Apparel Textiles provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the diverse and complex field of textiles. This programme offers a balanced combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, ensuring that students can effectively navigate the challenges and opportunities in the textile industry. The curriculum helps students distinguish between fabric qualities, understand the use of appropriate fibers, yarns, constructions, ornaments, and special surface finishes to create various fabrics for different end products. Students get the opportunity to learn skills like weaving, knitting, printing & special finishing.
They work directly in the labs on campus that are equipped with the latest tools & Industrial machinery. In 3rd year Semester V, students will be given the opportunity to choose two elective courses, with each course carrying two credits. Students are required to present their portfolios every two semesters at the end of the academic year. This four-year degree programme offers specialization in either home or apparel design.
PIFD encourages both faculty & students to attend international training programmes. Students securing high grades along with faculty are sent to attend workshops to affiliate institute in Sweden, University of Boras. Previously the dept. has attended workshops & trainings at Rhode Island School of Design, USA & London College of Fashion, LCF, UK, Accademia di Belle Arti di Frosinone, Italy and Accademia del Lusso, Milan, Italy.
At the School of Textile Design, we recognize the importance of work, experience, and job placements as a key to shaping the future careers of students. Graduates can pursue diverse career opportunities in the dynamic and expanding Textile Industry and work in design houses, export houses, textile manufacturers, and the retail sector. Furthermore, they have the opportunity to enter academia and pursue further higher studies both nationally and internationally.
