It’s open to all applicants, with no restriction on educational background.

Why to choose Online Diploma?
Not every fashion design diploma online program is built the same way. Here’s what shapes IFCT’s:
- Live, weekend-format classes — Sessions are conducted live so you can ask questions in real time, not just watch a recording — scheduled on weekends to fit around school, college, or a job.
- A full-year, practical curriculum — You’ll work through Drawing & Composition, Art & Illustrations, Pattern Making, Embroideries, Garment Construction, and Fashion Retail — moving from fundamentals to a body of real work.
- Portfolio you actually build — Practical assignments and personalised faculty guidance are built into the course, so you leave with a portfolio, not just a certificate.
- Backed by an established institute — IFCT runs its offline ecosystem from centres inside Rayat Bahra University (Greater Mohali) and Bahra University (Solan), and has trained 250+ students there — the online diploma extends the same academic structure.
- Open admission — No minimum qualification restriction; the program is open to all applicants.
