Fashion Design has now become an established career option in India, thanks to the various NIFTs and other Institutes that offer this undergraduate degree. India is a growing economy with a young population and that means that the numbers of a fashion conscious consumer are only going to increase. This assures of certain growth of the industry as well. That said, be clear in how you look at Fashion. If you are looking at 'Fashion' as is commonly understood, you are looking at celebrity designers like Manish Malhotra etc. And at Haute Couture. However the profession is far more wider than that because. A vast majority of the people don't wear Couture. A better term to explore would be apparel, which is what regular people like you and me wear and that is a huge growth market. Employment cane be gained in companies like Madurai Garments, Future Group, ZARA, Biba etc. There is a lot of scope for a good and successful career in such companies. As you are in Class XII-th currently, you should prepare for the entrance exam of various Fashion Institutes and complete a Bachelor's programme at any of these institutes of choice. There are many Institutes offering courses in Fashion/Apparel design starting from NIFTs to various good private institutes like Pearl Academy and IIAD. For IIAD, please log on to https://www.iiad.edu.in and get in touch with any of our counsellors who will personally guide you to the best way to clear the IIAD Entrance Exam.
All the best.

Its never too late to make lateral shifts in your career. We are moving more and more towards an inter-disciplinary working environment and all sorts of qualifications have their place. There are a couple of ways in which you can tailor your career in the fashion industry post your finance degree. One, you can do a Master's programme in Fashion Management. With your background in Finance and your further training in the Fashion Sector, you will be well placed to take up exciting jobs in large conglomerates dealing in the Fashion Industry, be they apparel giants or export houses. However if you are interested in 'designing' you should opt for a Fashion Design degree right from scratch. Don't worry, your finance degree will also come in handy. As I said, we are moving rapidly away from a single discipline world to a multi disciplinary world. And if this is your passion, these four years will be well spent and worth your time.

During the final year of Master's degree or after Master's degree, you can go for JRF, if you are interested in academics. But, if you want to work for media industry, then there is no need to go for JRF. If you go for JRF and qualified UGC NET with JRF then whenever you will join Ph.D. within 5 years, university will give you scholarship for the same. But, during that period you can't get into teaching in any college or university campus. For the preparation of UGC NET/JRF, you have to study according the syllabus of UGC NET (Mass Communication). There are number of books you can buy from book hawkers for the same. But, pattern of exam has changed. When I qualified UGC NET that time, UGC takes three exams- two objective based paper and one subjective. But, now all are objective based question paper. So, you need to study hard for the same. I can add you in a WhatsApp group of media professionals as well as media educators who regularly discuss the information and study material regarding UGC NET/JRF. If you are interested then you can drop your number here, then I can add you.

Inspiration & Build upon your natural writing talent. To become a journalist, some intrinsic skills are necessary to achieve success. First of all, you have got to have an inquiring mind. You must be passionate about knowledge and learning, and willing to do what it takes to get at the truth behind a story. Education: I recommend pursuing a journalism degree and double majoring or specializing in your core interest areas. Still, journalism is a doing field. At the end of the day, you need to be able to talk to people, see trends, organize your research and communicate it in an engaging way. More and more, the onus is on individual journalists to come up with the ideas and report, write, edit, publish and promote the work themselves. That takes independence, drive and attention to detail, which can't be taught in a classroom. Choose your niche. Attend the basic courses in journalism, but make sure that you get classes in your chosen specialty. If you are interested in fashion reporting, for example, you may not have the same courses as someone who is studying investigative journalism. Become an expert in your chosen field. Read books, subscribe to magazines, and attend events anything to keep you current. Get involved. You must have passion for your subject. Indifference and apathy are the enemies of good journalism. Secure an internship (or two or three). Many Universities have newspapers, yearbooks, newsletters, or radio stations that accept interns. The experience gained is essential when it comes time to apply for a job. Write, write. Then, write some more. Build a portfolio of your work that you can present to future employers, and make sure its quality work. Read newspapers, subscribe to magazines, and explore books. It is very important to stay up to date on current events. Job Opportunities
Although media is evolving rapidly, I still put journalism jobs in two buckets: broadcast and print. Digital has now broken all walls and increasingly reporters are expected to file stories on webpages, digital platforms. So look for any opportunities. Be willing to start small. Think community publications, local newsletters, or small area newspapers. Anything to get your work published. If you have a hobby, look for opportunities to write a piece for a newsletter. Sometimes for free, but again anything to get your work published. Create an online presence for yourself by starting your own blog or website. Learn editing & Photoshop software.

The utmost function of public relations is to make its clients image in the society. A public relations company has good media relations which becomes very helpful for their clients when there arises any crisis in the firm. The PRs share the insights of the problem with the media journalist's which makes a journalist aware of the happening. A PRO (Public Relations Officer) uses his terms with journalist and holds the power to stop the news to be disseminated in the media or if the news has already been shared he/she asks the journalist to publish an apology note or write the reasons for the mis happening which helps to restore the image in the public for their client. They uses there best of skills to manipulate the situation in favour of their clients and give them the constant support they need at that time. Being a normal person you can't make a journalist aware about the crisis and can't manage to get rid of the defaming that has already been done. A PR specialist makes PR plans ready which help clients gain the image back in front of the society. Good luck.
