Hello.

It is suggested to complete your 12th first as you will have various choices open for your admission and interests. Most of the reputed fashion technology and design institutes have 10+2 as the minimum educational qualification required to secure an admission.

Fashion Design is the art of using concepts of design and technology to create clothing and accessories. In this article, you will be reading about Fashion Design courses, which can be pursued after 10th standard. Fashion industry is rapidly developing in India. Globalization has been a driving factor behind the rapid development of this industry. It is a diverse industry and offers numerous job opportunities to talented and creative people.

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- 

•  Diploma courses
• 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!

• Diploma in Fashion Technology
• Diploma in Fashion Design
• Diploma in Apparel Design
• Diploma in Jewellery Design
• Diploma in Fashion Photography
• Diploma in Retail Merchandising
• Diploma in Leather Design
• Diploma in Textile Design
• Diploma in Visual Merchandising

• Fashion Design
• Jewellery Design
• Accessory Design
• Textile Design
• Leather Design
• Footwear Design

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.

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!

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.
