"The methodology here is simple, where we make sure that students are intensively trained with global exposure, updated with the latest fashion and design trends around the world. Most often, the students with apprehensions about their sketching and illustrating abilities come to me. I tell them, that nothing is impossible if one has the determination and will to excel," says Dr. Rajni Rathi, Director of Tatyam School of Design.

Including Modern Methodologies for Teaching


Interior and Fashion designing is a sector having a high outreach today and it encompasses Interior Design, Vastu, Make-Up & Styling, Hair Dressing, Beauty & Wellness and more. Dr. Rajni says, "Designing comes easy to many and it's more of the way things are created than being looked at. Here, we aim at fostering the creative appetite lying in this generation through continuous improvement in their hands-on skills and making them consistent. This is a destination, where individuals having a great passion for aesthetics can improvise and modernize it with latest designing techniques."
