Hello Shelly!
Its great blessing to have so many talents and more importantly to recognize them. While knowing about these creative bent, one needs to know the reason for you to choose Btech and what stopped you from pursuing other courses like Fashion design as you have mentioned. Which year of Btech are you in? Probably we can figure out the best options for you under the given circumstances once we know your priorities and present (social?) pressures.

Dear Shelly,
It's good to know that a girl of your age is well aware of herself. Since you know what you are capable of doing I suggest don't waste time. With all above mentioned traits you would surely be successful & happy if you pursue a career in mass communication. There are various institutes in India which offers PG courses in mass communication but if you really want to sure of placements and secure career that do your Post graduation in mass comm from Institutes like MICA, Ahmedabad ( PGDM Communication) , IIMC Delhi or you can do MBA HR from reputed B-Schools. Start preparing for entrance exams right now but on any day Mudra is the best option for you. I would like say one thing here take a right decision or spend your whole life in proving that your decision was right. GOOD LUCK.

Dear Shelly,
I would like to know which year of Engineering are you in and in which city you are located? Event management certainly requires more field work as well as working in late hours outside home, however other options like fashion designing, performing arts, fine arts, graphic designing, craft designing and so on do not necessarily require you top move out of your comfort zone. Once that is known we can discuss on the most suitable option of choosing an institute for you. If you want me to suggest a specific solution, please give specific details about present scenario and future priorities. You might choose to call or mail me in case you want a more detailed discussion.

As I read your 1st query again, I see as you are in Btech 3rd year, I suggest you must complete your degree in Engineering, while you still have 1 year to go.. in that 1 year, you must prepare for a masters level course in the filed of your interest. A career shift and to get into a good college for higher education would require preparation on portfolio preparation front as well as serious thought about selection of right college - and you are lucky to realize what you want to do at just the right time as such preparation will need about a year. Hence as suggested in my previous reply, you need to chart out your priorities and share with me in case you want specific guidance.
All the best!

Hi Megha,
You are right..I must complete my engineering first and then do a masters in my area of interest.
My neighbor is working in an import-export company. She has done fashion merchandizing and the masters in retail management. She is happy with her work. She gets fabulous clothes from there. She comes back by 6 in the evening. That is what I want. I want to wake up in the morning and get dressed up properly to go to work. I want to enjoy what I do. I am doing Computer Science engineering right now..and here nobody cares about what are you wearing and how are you dressed up. Its so boring..! I want to work in a fashion house or an export company and enjoy my work. Also, I need to come back home on time so that I can continue to work without any family problems.

Actually I was thinking of doing my masters by taking education loan. So I must get a good package so that I can pay back the loan and save some money for myself.
Please help me.

Good to find confidence building up in your tone!
Now check details of fashion design courses from various NIFTs (M.Des is available only in Delhi and Mumbai campus). Which city are you currently based in? Is it fine for you to go to metros for study? These factors will be important while selecting a desired college.
You really need to start preparing for entrance exams now! If your attitude and skills are good towards work, every field will be rewarding. You just need to choose the options cleverly starting to selection of college to choosing electives during course and finally talking placement offers. All the best!

Hi,
I don't want to take money from my dad now. Are there any part time jobs available in Noida that I can do along with my college?
