B.Sc Textile and
Fashion Design

About the Program

The B.Sc Textile and Fashion Design at MIT Vishwaprayag University is a studio-intensive undergraduate program that bridges the worlds of material science, creative design, and fashion systems — preparing students to become versatile design professionals for India's rapidly growing textile and fashion industry. We believe every student carries untapped potential that cannot be unlocked by textbooks alone. Here, material science meets storytelling, tradition meets innovation, and sustainability meets high fashion.

Student ideas don't just stay in sketchbooks — they come alive through textile labs, draping studios, pattern-making workshops, sustainable material experiments, fashion shows, brand collaborations, and intensive mentor guidance. The faculty are trained to teach, critique, inspire, and recognise not only the student you are today but the designer, innovator, entrepreneur, or trendsetter you are becoming. The curriculum covers the full spectrum — from fibre science and fabric construction to garment draping, fashion illustration, surface design, print development, and collection creation.

MIT Vishwaprayag University's B.Sc Textile and Fashion Design graduates are equipped for careers across fashion design, textile development, garment merchandising, retail buying, sustainable fashion, costume design, fashion styling, and design entrepreneurship — with the creative and technical foundation to make an immediate impact in India's ₹10 lakh crore textile and apparel sector, as well as the global fashion industry.

Be a Bahumukhi

The Bahumukhi philosophy at MIT Vishwaprayag University transforms every B.Sc Textile and Fashion Design graduate into a multi-dimensional creative professional who operates at the intersection of craft, culture, commerce, and sustainability. A Bahumukhi fashion and textile designer does not merely follow trends — they set them. They understand fibres at a scientific level, design at an aesthetic level, and position their work at a commercial level. They combine the hands-on mastery of a craftsperson, the conceptual vision of an artist, the analytical precision of a material scientist, and the entrepreneurial drive of a brand builder.

We cultivate in our graduates the ability to work across the full spectrum of the fashion and textile ecosystem — from sourcing sustainable fabrics and developing innovative surface treatments, to building coherent collections, managing garment production, and launching original fashion labels. Whether designing for a luxury couture house, leading the sustainable textiles division of a global brand, working as a creative director at a fashion magazine, or launching an independent fashion label, our graduates enter every professional space not merely qualified but genuinely prepared for the creative and commercial challenges ahead.

Students choose from three specializations in the advanced years of the program — each built around dedicated studio courses, live design briefs, and industry-linked projects — creating a distinctive creative career pathway aligned to the most in-demand areas of India's textile and fashion economy.

Events & Student Life

Student Testimonials

The Fashion Design specialization gave me far more than technical skills — it gave me a design language. The draping studio, the live collection brief we executed for a Pune-based label, and the annual fashion show experience made me feel like a professional designer before I even graduated. My internship converted into a full-time offer at a Mumbai boutique brand.

Nisha Patil

B.Sc 2024 · Fashion Designer at a Mumbai Boutique Label

I came from a science background and wasn't sure a fashion design program would accept me — but that was the first thing that surprised me. The Material Science specialization was the perfect bridge. Understanding fibres at a technical level while designing with them creatively was unlike anything I'd experienced. I now work in sustainable textile development for an export house.

Aishwarya More

B.Sc 2024 · Textile Developer at a Textile Export House

The Textile Design specialization opened my eyes to the incredible depth of Indian textile traditions and how to bring them into contemporary contexts. The surface design lab and the natural dyeing workshop were transformative. My graduation collection — inspired by Warli motifs reimagined in modern silhouettes — won a regional design award and helped me secure a position at a heritage craft brand.

B.Sc 2023 · Textile Designer at a Heritage Craft Brand

The School of Design is a place where your creativity is constantly challenged, supported, and celebrated. The faculty pushed us to think beyond aesthetics — to understand sustainability, commercial viability, and storytelling as equal parts of good design. I launched my own sustainable fashion label in my final year and already have wholesale orders from three boutiques across Maharashtra.
