Love the Research setup of our college. Has more than 15 COEs present. ABB research centre is the best among them
The bring in a lot of industry professionals every.One or the other event always keeps happening.

Dislikes

Campus is not very huge since it's in the centre of the city but the outside shops make up for this

Placement Experience:

From the very entry into your third year, you will be eligible to most of the placements. The training provided is very exquisite and some of the trainings start as early as 1st year. 2026 highest package was 55LPA. Many companies like from product companies like Microsoft, Capgemini to service based companies like TCS, INFOSYS etc.. visit our campus for regular placements. About 98% of people placed as far as I have heard.

A Good College Experience with Opportunities for Learning and Growth

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is fairly relevant and comprehensive, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications. It provides a good foundation for technical knowledge, but including more industry-oriented projects, hands-on training, and updated technologies would make it even better for future career opportunities.

It is the Good college and got opportunities in the sports and other activities.

Likes

It is better than my old college and giving free food and place to sit in the college campus.
In sports they are also helping for dearness allowance for playing matches and travelling.
They are also giving us the space to study and ask doubts without any hesitation

Dislikes

Canteen is not good and it is very congested
Some of teachers are not coming to the classes properly and they are also not teaching properly
Home guard is the problem in college. They are always making issues while parking the vehicles

Course Curriculum Overview:

Studying Master of commerce is okay. The same thing and few same subjects which I studied in undergraduate. Classes are good and we are also having some gaps. Not a big difference and 1 or 2 subjects are new for us. I want to suggest that to give holiday after the semester exams. But not before that. It is quite difficult for us to study. It will be easy for us to ask doubts.

FDDI Chennai: A Blend of Creativity, Career, and Campus Comfort

Why I Chose FDDI Chennai I chose FDDI Chennai because it offers a specialized curriculum in Fashion Design / Footwear Design / Leather Goods, with strong industry linkages, good infrastructure, and a practical-oriented approach. Its backing by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry gives it credibility, and the placement support is also a strong factor. Why I Couldn't Make It to Other Colleges NIFT – Very high competition. I appeared for the entrance but my rank wasn’t sufficient for the center/course I wanted. Other Private Colleges – I was selected, but the fee was too high and ROI didn’t justify the cost. FDDI Admission Process 1.Entrance Exam (AIST) FDDI All India Selection Test (AIST) is a written exam covering GK, aptitude, design awareness, and English. 2.

One of the main plus point about this college is that the teachers are well qualified and they prepare the students with good knowledge about the retail and fashion industry.As the MBA are given more importance and the fee is also very less as compared to many of the big B schools.I would say if a person have a neck for retailing then you could definitely go for this course because the opportunities available in this field are really amazing....Read More
