Tiny Cohort = Tight Network
Only 15 seats means hyper-focused mentoring and zero crowd. But DUET prep is non-negotiable and competition for those seats is real.
The verdict
Good fit
If you care more about textile science and sustainable fashion than runway glam, this program is a steal. Total fee under ₹50K, DU legacy, and a niche curriculum that blends CAD with quality control. Just keep expectations realistic: placements average ₹4 LPA and the intake is tiny, so DUET prep needs to be serious.
