I am not satisfied and I would not recommend students to take admission in it.

Placements: Around 30-40% of students are placed. The average salary package offered ranges from 3 LPA - 4 LPA. Lenskart, Admitkard, and Landmark are some of the top recruiting companies. Almost 100% of students get internships but they have to look for the internships themselves. The main companies in which the students interned are Armani Exchange, Scotch and Soda, etc. There is not much they are offering in this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not good, walls are full of leakage. Almost everything is broken in this college. Washrooms and cafeteria food are also not good. The classrooms are very hot and water coolers rarely work. They provide air-conditioner in classroom in last semester, but that does not make up for the three semesters, students have to sit in extreme heat.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but some of them are not interested in the betterment of students at all. Course curriculum is relevant, and it does make the students industry-ready. There is no practical knowledge and semester exams are fine. They are not difficult if students have gone through the syllabus. The passing percentage is 35%.

College should start providing their own degrees.

Placements: Placements are good and over 70 plus multinational and national companies come to offer placements to graduating students on the basis of the courses which they have done. Top companies are Reliance, Bestseller, Woodland, PUMA. Almost 100% placements were done from my batch.

Infrastructure: Hostel was out of the campus and no Wi-Fi facility was provided also the rooms were not up to the mark. But the college has significantly improved the hostel facilities for the students now as they have built the hostels inside the college campus for boys and girls.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and were very knowledgeable in their particular field and each department had experienced teachers within their department. Yes, the course curriculum were very effective and they do make the graduating students ready for the industry.

Good faculty and placement .

Placements: There was a 100% placement record even they helped with further switching of jobs also. Internships were subjected to our interviews and tests that the companies took. But, faculty helped us a lot. From fashion consultant to assistant manager to manager, VM manager, VM assistant, interviews happen with video for a variety of job roles.

Infrastructure: I am a local Resident. But, mess food was okay, not bad, especially the aloo-puri was totally amazing. As I have heard, the hostel wardens were nice and supportive. Hostel rooms were normal. The time was I guess till 7 pm to go out. The cleanliness was good around the whole campus.

Faculty: The faculty is surely amazing. Especially for Marketing management and Introduction to retail, communication- Renu mam, Shweta Saini mam. Their hold on us was good. Even the bored ones studied really well in front of them. Depth of concept was the main catch.

Other: I wanted to do MBA, and as retail is growing it is good.

Good return on investment and average placement scenario.

Placements: 60%-80% get placed. The highest salary offered was around 6.5 Lacs by BATA for the position of District Manager and the lowest goes around 3-3.5 lacs for profiles of Sales. The MBA students get higher packages as compared to B. Des students. Top recruiting companies are BATA, Aditya Birla group, Landmark group and many other start up companies. Top roles offered are Merchandisers, Fashion analysts, DM and sometimes Store managers (low packaged). Companies like BATA, Decathlon mostly visit for summer internships but one can not completely depend on the college. The FEE is very less as compared to B-Schools, Return on Investment is amazing. Fee for MBA is around 5 Lacs for the two years. And average placement is also around 4.5 lacs.

Infrastructure: There are well-structured computer lab, footwear testing labs, leather designing labs, big library, Music room, sports room, Cafeteria, Basketball court, Girls hostel and boys hostel have separate lawns, Auditorium etc. College is famous for its footwear designing course but MBAs are paid more. Hostel is just fine. Accommodation for 4 in one room. There is separate washrooms in boys hostel and common washroom on every floor in Girls hostel. Mess food is just okay, quality of food is okay, canteen does not have much variety, medical facilities are quick, and sports and games are encouraged. A sports and cultural week is organised every semester. The college is fun and full of cultural activities.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified. Pedagogy and teaching quality is good definitely. The course prepares the students well for Retail Industry and fashion world. The subjects are designed accordingly. Subjects like Fashion trends, Retail Environment, IT application (Excel, Core draw and Photoshop), Merchandising, Visual Merchandising, Product Design, Accountancy, Economics etc. Basically, if you have a neck for Retailing then you must opt for this course. Because undoubtedly the course is designed amazingly.

Other: The reason I chose this course was for good return on investment and the appeal. And I chose the course because I got Noida campus. Being in the vicinity of a city like DELHI, students are exposed to good internship opportunities and retail environment.

Q: Is MBA at FDDI Noida better than Amity University, Gurugram?

Both FDDI Noida and Amity University, Gurugram are well-respected institutions that offer MBA programs. The choice between the two depends on your individual preferences and priorities.

FDDI Noida is known for its specialised focus on fashion and footwear design. The MBA programme at FDDI Noida is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the business aspects of the fashion and footwear industries. The programme emphasizes practical learning, with a strong focus on industry internships and case studies.

Amity University, Gurugram is a larger, more comprehensive university that offers a wider range of MBA specializations, including finance, marketing, and human resources. The MBA programme at Amity University is also known for its strong alumni network.

Here is a table summarizing the key differences between the two programs:

Feature	FDDI Noida	Amity University, Gurugram
Focus	Fashion and footwear design	Broader range of specializations
Learning style	Practical, with a focus on industry internships and case studies	More traditional, with a focus on lectures and assignments
Size	Smaller, more intimate campus	Larger, more diverse campus
Alumni network	Smaller but more focused on fashion and footwear industries	Larger and more diverse

Ultimately, the best way to decide which programme is right for you is to visit both campuses and talk to current students and alumni. You should also consider your own career goals and interests when making your decision.

Here are some additional factors to consider when making your decision:

Your budget: The tuition fees for the MBA programme at FDDI Noida are lower than the tuition fees for the MBA programme at Amity University, Gurugram.
Your location: If you prefer to live in a more urban area, then Amity University, Gurugram may be a better fit for you. If you prefer a quieter, more suburban environment, then FDDI Noida may be a better fit.
Your academic background: If you have a strong academic record, then you may be more successful at FDDI Noida, which has a more selective admissions process.

I hope this helps!
