So I know what the industry wants and for the matter I have a corporate relationship with a lot of industries and organizations. We invite them and ask them about their expectation and we use that to try to bridge that knowledge and skills gap.”
According to him, the school annually sponsor some students to attend a fashion week event in Dubai whiles others go on industrial visits with some interning with key sector organizations in order to acquire the practical skills and experience.

Scholarships for Students
The Registrar of the School, Sujith Jayaprakash emphasized that the college has a generous scholarship for meritorious applicants and students who excel academically.
“We awarded nine scholarships to continuing students. Basically these scholarships are awarded based on the GPA performance of students. Assuming the student is in level 100, we check the GPA from semester one and two to find out if the student has achieved 3.5 and above. This includes multiple checks from the department, the Dean of Students and the SRC to find out whether the student has involved in any disciplinary issues. The scholarship is for two semesters which is about 75percent of the tuition fee of the student,” he intimated.
According to him, three of the beneficiaries are students from the Faculty of Technology, 4 are from Faculty of Business, one from Fashion and other from Journalism.
“We check from the quality assurance office whether the student was involved in any disciplinary issues. We also check from the student affairs and other extra curricula activities of the student before awarding the scholarship,” he stated.
The Registrar added that the college is also sponsoring three selected fashion students to Dubai Fashion Week for three days on 24th to 29th April, 2018.
