Indira Gandhi National Open University introduces a new BSc programme in fabric and apparel design under the four-year undergraduate programme framework. The course follows the FYUP structure and offers students multiple exit options at different academic stages.
The programme focuses on fabric science, apparel design, garment construction, textile technology, and fashion fundamentals. It aims to build both creative and technical skills required for careers in the textile, fashion, and apparel industry. Students gain practical exposure along with academic learning, aligning the curriculum with industry needs.
Under the FYUP model, students can exit after one year with a certificate, after two years with a diploma, after three years with a bachelor’s degree, or complete four years for an honours degree. This flexibility helps learners choose their academic path based on career goals and personal circumstances.
The programme suits students interested in fashion design, textile production, apparel merchandising, and related fields. It also supports skill-based education and employability while allowing learners to re-enter and continue studies later.
