A unique fashion show by the students of the fashion designing wing of JDBI was held at the Annual Day function. “We value our students ideas and feel proud to see them actively participating in events that showcase their talents and also put into practice their ideas. The fashion show, organized by the students, imparts vital entrepreneurial skills like showcasing of products, branding and marketing,” said Dr Deepali Singhee, Principal, JDBI.

Our out-of-the-box thinking on balancing the educational and career needs of students has kept us ahead of the curve,” Dr Singhee, said.

About the J.D. Birla Institute:

J.D. Birla Institute, which is a private un-aided college, was established in June 1962 when late Smt. Sushila Devi Birla established a college for girls to provide scientific education to young women from Kolkata's conservative family. Over the 50 glorious years, JDBI has grown with the needs and demands of the changing times. The Institute has made rapid strides over the decades to emerge as a centre of excellence. The name was changed to J.D. Birla Institute in 2002 with the launch of a satellite campus to house the co-educational Department of Management. Today the Institute, which has an `A' grade from National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), provides graduate, post-graduate degrees under affiliation to Jadavpur University and several short term courses.
