Hi Aspirant!

Both are the top fashion institutes of India, FDDI comes under the  Ministry of Commerce & Industry and NIFT comes under the Minstry of textiles. FDDI has attained the status of national importance recently, in 2017. So, the status of FDDI is not at par, but the facilities provided there are stellar. if we compare overall NIFT is better than FDDI. It is because there are 12 FDDI campuses in India out of which only Noida and Hydrabad campus are better. Well, it depends on the course also, if you want to work under the merchandise or you want to purse footwear technology/ retail management or merchandise then go for FDDI. But if you are interested in B.Des or Fashion Design then you must choose NIFT Hydrabad.

Hope it helps to clear your delimma, thankyou!
