I am absolutely satisfied with this best fashion designing college in Mumbai.

Placements: During our course, almost all the students got the placement in Mumbai, a few interned at boutiques, and a few worked as assistant fashion stylists. I got my first internship as an assistant designer at a fashion studio. INSD Kandivali offered different courses like diploma, advanced diploma, B.Sc. in Fashion Designing, and M.Sc. in fashion designing. Apart from this, INSD offered Interior Designing and Jewellery Designing courses also. INSD Kandivali provided regular field trips to students and also held a fashion show at the year end.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at INSD Kandivali is not very huge, but we got all the required facilities as our batches were small and so each student got to interact personally with our mentors. INSD Kandivali provided all the necessary departments at their branch for garment-making teaching, illustration room, presentation room, etc. As per my personal experience, I prefer INSD Kandivali to every fashion aspirants as it has small student batches, and each student had personal interaction with teachers.

Faculty: Faculty members at INSD Kandivali were well qualified and were one of the best in Mumbai. They were very knowledgeable about their subjects. They cleared every doubt and helped us to make our study experience very unique at INSD. The curriculum in our B.Sc. in fashion designing and technology course was well detailed and we got introduced to new subjects each semester. I must say that after the completion of our course, I felt industry-ready and I was aware of all the relevant fashion terms after course completion.

Other: INSD Kandivali holds a fashion show at every year end for INSD students. They provided field trips to industries which helped us to learn more efficiently. The experience at the field trips were unforgettable. They kept giving us projects on different occasions which helps us to think more creatively. The overall experience at INSD Kandivali was excellent.
