About this Program
IGNOU's B.Sc. in Fashion and Apparel Design (FAD) under the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) framework is a UGC-recognised degree offered in open-and-distance-learning mode, designed for students who want a creative design education without the high fees of private design institutes. Aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, the four-year structure includes multiple exit and entry points: one year earns a Certificate, two years a Diploma, three years a B.Sc., and four years a B.Sc. (Hons) — providing flexibility for learners who need to pause and resume study. The curriculum covers textile science, garment construction, fashion illustration, pattern making, fashion business and merchandising, colour theory, and fashion history. Eligibility and fees are listed on the IGNOU Samarth portal. Graduates pursue roles as fashion designers, merchandisers, retail buyers, costume designers, apparel quality analysts, and fashion entrepreneurs in India's growing textile and lifestyle industry.
