All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) approves the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Footwear Technology) programme of 2 years (full time) of Footwear Design & Development Institute (FDDI). The eligibility for this programme is graduation in any discipline.
FDDI is rated among the premier fashion institutions in the world & is widely recognized as a centre of excellence due to the wide range of long-term and short-term programmes it conducts in the area of Retail Management, Fashion, Footwear Design, Technology, Management, Fashion Merchandising, Marketing Creative Designing & CAD/CAM, Leather Goods & Accessories Design etc.
"Our institutional objective is to develop FDDI into a centre of excellence and innovation and a growth catalyst of the fashion business through education leadership. Benchmarking performance and processes in the areas of fashion education, research and development, training and consultancy are our chosen methodologies for attaining excellence,” says Mr. Rajeev Lakhara, IRS, Managing Director, FDDI.
Citing about the relevance & requirement of this approval, Mr. Lakhara said, “ The economic progress of a country is strongly linked with the quality of education & we at FDDI are committed to give the best to the students. Though FDDI boasts of 100% placement record and students from FDDI are being offered the best pay package in the industry yet many parents thought of not sending their child to do a course from FDDI as it was not having the AICTE approval.”
“Internationally accredited curriculum, most hi- tech campus, rich intellectual capital in the form of faculty of FDDI, rigorous teaching and grooming & excellent placements are the most important factors for the approval of AICTE & we are optimistic that very soon we will get the other programmes of FDDI approved by AICTE,” says Mr. Lakhara.
According to Mr. Shashi Bhushan Shukla, IRS, Secretary FDDI, “Well-designed industry oriented curriculum, with a fine blend of theory & practice supported with world-class machineries and equipments with state of the art training aids to remain internationally competitive and comparable makes FDDI unique as far as teaching is concerned & we are sure that the AICTE approvals will evoke interest among those students who are on the threshold of choosing a career and upgrading their skills in this area.”
