Hi yes You are still eligible for admission in M.Sc. (Design - Fashion) programme , which Provides exposure in fashion design and apparel manufacturing technology while training students in pattern making and garment construction . The eligibility criteria is - Pass with 50% aggregate marks in Bachelor’s degree (any discipline) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST (https://nest.lpu.in/pg-design-commerce-and-economics/) * or CEED or NID-PG or NIFT-PG.

Thank you .

Hello Soumili. You will need to have a bachelor's degree ie., BA or equivalent qualification! Most of the fashion institutes and colleges offering the course admit candidates on the basis of their performance in a relevant entrance test, conducted either at National level (CEED, NIFT, etc.) or at institutional level. Students, who have secured the qualifying percentile (cut-off) in the entrance exams, are eligible for the subsequent counseling process.

Candidates have to go through two additional rounds of group discussion and personal interview, as a part of counseling, wherein their communication skills and knowledge of fashion is examined by highly qualified and experienced faculties. A merit list is then issued by each university allocating available seats to the most deserving aspirants.

Students in their final year of graduation, waiting for exam results, are also eligible to apply, but admission to such candidates will be given on a provisional basis, until they fulfill all the above mentioned eligibility criteria.

However, there are certain colleges that provide admission to students based on their accomplishment in the last qualifying exam (i.e. graduation).

Listed below are some of the major entrance examinations conducted in the country for providing admission to the respective course.

CEED(Common Entrance Exam for Design)

NIFT(National Institute of Fashion Technology) Entrance Exam

PAF (Pearl Academy of Fashion) Entrance Test

AIFD (Armed Institute of Fashion Design) Entrance Exam

GLS Institute of Design Entrance Exam

SOFT (School of Fashion Technology) Entrance Test
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Greetings,
You can surely pursue your course in fashion designing but you cannot apply directly for a master's in fashion designing unless you have a basic degree in the same. Your course in botany entitles you to pursue further studies in botany. A master's degree as such. But fashion designing as you realise is a different course altogether.
But you need not worry because changing a course does not impose any restrictions on the said course as such. So you can surely pursue a course of your choice.
Wish you all the best for your future endeavours.

Good luck.
