Pune: Times and Trends Academy has collaborated with Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) to offer three-year B.Sc. Fashion Designing and Interior Designing that will redefine the dynamics in the education industry. Sangram Chougule (Mr. Universe 2012, and the six-time winner of Mr. India, five-time winner of Mr. Maharashtra ) was present at the event. With this collaboration students will now be able to get a degree from a recognized university.
Amit Agarwal (Founder & CEO of Times & Trends Academy)said, “This is a perfect educational tie-up. I think this is a strategic partnership where best of the both worlds is offered to our students who are willing to take up Interior Designing and Fashion Designing Courses as a serious career option under Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU).”
Mr. Sangram, a professional body-builder, shared his experience about the body-building journey. He narrated various anecdotes about his challenging journey and how he overcame obstacles to be an achiever. He stressed on the fact that perseverance, hard work, and dedication will always help you achieve things that you are aiming for in life.
When asked why students should be considering pursuing interior designing and fashion designing courses, Mr. Amit explained, “If you look at the current fashion market in India, it is worth over Rs. 2000 crores, and still growing strong. And Interior Designing industry is worth more than Rs. 5000 crores. The apparel section is growing at 30%. The demand in jobs for interior designers is growing at 13% each year. Both these industries are experimenting like never before. So, if students are looking at career alternatives that are unconventional, and also well-paying, then fashion designing and interior designing industries are gold mines to be in.”
On Times and Trends Academy has three unique things: One – Studies conducted by major universities and business organizations indicate that less than 10 % of job failures are due the lack of technical aspects of the job. And this means that more than 90 % of such failures are due to lack of understanding of one`s self, lack of understanding of others and the lack of motivation (in short lack of life skills and people skills). And this made us develop and create curriculum in a holistic way wherein 360-degree development of each and every student is ensured.
Times and Trends Academy is one of the top institutes that offer courses like Fashion Designing, Interior Designing, Fashion Styling & Image Design, Fashion & Lifestyle Boutique Management, Interior Decoration& Styling, Interior & Lifestyle Business Management, Event Management, Jewellery Designing, Animation Design, Vaastu-Shastra, Set Design, Landscape Design, etc.
