Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences B.Des in Fashion Design - Fees, Eligibility, Seats and Admission 2024

Overall: I was interested in fashion design since I was in Class 6th. I came across Ramaiah University, and i applied for RUAS AT. The admission is based on this particular entrance exam. But during my last year in 2022, i was very disappointed by the placement drive. Most of the companies were recruiting for their retail firm and manufacturing warehouses, whereas I wanted to work under a designer. After my college was over, i got an opportunity after 6 months. But I am thankful that they consider me and my skills and provided me with a job at a reputable fashion house.

Placement: RUAS offers decent placement opportunities for B.Des students but most offers are from buying horses or retail stores. The university has collaborations with more than 100 companies that visit the campus for placement drives. Previous companies like HCL, Infosys, Atkins, etc., have provided internship opportunities to students. The median placement salary of 23 LPA is indicative of the potential for securing good job opportunities in the fashion industry.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at RUAS is well-developed and has labs for design students. The campus boasts four buildings that house various facilities required for B.Des students. These facilities may include well-equipped design studios, workshops, computer labs, and a resourceful library. The university invests in providing modern tools and equipment to enhance the practical learning experience. However, the university should focus on bringing more advanced sewing machines.

Faculty: The faculty members in B.Des department include experts from the fashion industry. They share their real industry experiences and challenges. Our textile and merchandising teacher was amazing. While I had difficulty in pattern-making classes. Some faculty may have limited office hours or be difficult to reach, which can be frustrating for students seeking additional guidance or clarification.

Hostel: RUAS offers hostel facilities on a sharing basis for students. While the facilities of the hostel may vary, the university generally provides comfortable living spaces for students. The hostel facilities ensure students have a conducive environment for studying and engaging in extracurricular activities.
