List of Fashion Design courses after 10th

Right after 10th, students are not eligible to pursue Bachelor’s Degree courses. This means that there are only two choices available in front of 10th passed students-

  1. Diploma courses
  2. Certificate courses

 

These are the two course formats available in front of those, who want to study fashion designing courses after 10th! Let’s check out some good courses!

6Certificate in Footwear Design3 to 6 months

 

Note: Most of the reputed fashion design colleges and institutes are known to offer courses for 12th passed candidates. It should be noted that most fashion design courses from good colleges allow only 12th passed students to apply for admission. Very few colleges allow 10th passed candidates to pursue fashion design courses in India. Readers are advised to check the credibility and accreditation status of such colleges or institutes.

 

Alternative career paths for fashion design aspirants

As you can see, right after 10th, you won’t have much choices when it comes to courses. Also, most of the reputed fashion technology and design institutes have 10+2 as the minimum educational qualification required to secure an admission.

 

I suggest my readers to go for 11th and 12th schooling after 10th standard. After completing your 12th standard board examination, you will become eligible to pursue even better courses, such as- BFT (Bachelor of Fashion Technology), Bachelor of Fashion Communication, Bachelor of Design, Bachelor of Fashion Merchandising etc.

 

These Bachelor’s Degree programs are much more valuable than the Diploma and Certificate programs, which you folks could pursue after 10th. Thus, if you ask me, I’d say that waiting for 2 more years after 10th and finishing 12th board examination will prove to be beneficial in the long run! You may also check – Arts courses after 12th & List of courses after 10th.

 

The best part is that you may even pursue these Bachelor’s Degree courses from some of the best fashion and design institutes in India (the likes of NIFT and NID)! You may follow these Bachelor’s Degree courses up with PG courses like- Master’s Degree in Design, PG Diploma programs, PhD program etc.

 

Fashion Design scope, jobs & salary

Depending upon the course one selects, job profiles available are-

  • Fashion Designer
  • Event Coordinator
  • Fashion Forecaster
  • Stylist
  • Textile Designer
  • Merchandiser
  • Creative Designer
  • Technical Designer
  • Fashion Photographer
  • Sales Manager
  • Store Manager

 

Starting salary depends upon factors such as – profile of the employer, course completed by the candidate, aptitude of the candidate, profile of the job and more. In the private sector, a fashion designer (having completed entry level course) may earn around 15-20K INR per month. This amount may vary from one employer to another.
