NSHM launches B.Sc degree course in Fashion Design & Management

Kolkata: NSHM College of Management and Technology (NCMT), one of the institutions of NSHM Knowledge Campus – a premier educational group of eastern India – today announced the launch of 3-Year B.Sc Degree Course in Fashion Design & Management at its Kolkata campus.

The course, affiliated to the WBUT (Government of West Bengal), combines fashion design with fashion management. From designing to management, the course offers diverse career options catering to the student’s creative aspirations and at the same time entering the world of glamour and fame along with a lucrative pay package.

Indian fashion has begun to makes waves in the International circuit, however, making inroads into the International world of high fashion calls for skill-sets that current fashion design curriculum fails to address. NCMT's 3-Year B.Sc degree course is tailored to cover the entire spectrum of fashion i.e., from craft-to-commerce which includes creativity, aesthetics, style, technical knowledge and skills and introduce management aspects like production, branding, marketing, merchandising and entrepreneurial zeal.

Announcing the launch of the course here today, Mr Krishnendu Sarkar, Principal, NCMT, said, “With the launch of this course NSHM has further expanded its already impressive educational portfolio. Fashion design, currently in vogue, offers lucrative career options for talented youngsters. The modern concept of fashion design, however, has undergone a sea change today. It is a lot more than just a craft and includes technical knowledge, skills and aspects of marketing and merchandising that each serious student must know. The 3-Year B.Sc course is in sync with the needs of the industry and is aimed at developing a smart array of skills in students by way of experiential learning to make them.”

Famous fashion designer duo Dev and Nil, designer Sucheta Merh and Sayon Mitra were present at the launch function. “Being a fast-changing sector, NCMT would maintain a steady link with the rising and established fashion designers of India who would be invited to the campus to impart skills to and share experiences with the students and keep them abreast of the emerging trends and concepts. The course would equip a student with a whole new range of skills and help develop entrepreneurial skills and set up manufacturing units for export of products and apparels,” said Mr Mriganka Dutta, Head of Department, NCMT, Fashion Design & Management. 

International and Indian designers with varied and exquisite craftsmanship are also headed to open up their stores in Kolkata. The contemporary course structure, the state-of-the-art infrastructure, highly qualified and experienced faculty bench, vibrant campus life and a secured career at the completion of the course make it all the more interesting.

There would be summer internships to make the students skillfully trained and certified before they take the professional plunge. Students would also get chances to prepare their professional portfolios and execute their final collections at the Finale Fashion Show before they are selected through campus interview.
