AFD was conceived in the year 2000. AFD is an institute run by an Alumnus of the National Institute of Fashion, Technology, New Delhi. Several students had approached the founder, of AFD over the years for assistance in preparing for the NIFT/NID admissions. There was a need for a comprehensive course that could provide a clear guidance to the NIFT/NID/CEED examinations. An urgent need was felt for a tutorial which could impart training to secondary school students , such that these students could be completely equipped for the NIFT/NID entrance exams.

Our conventional educational system, at under graduate level, benefits only the students who wish to go in for conventional careers (Engineering, Medical etc.), which are getting crowded day by day. Formal education up to 12th standard has very little to offer to the students who wish to take design as a career. Academy of Fashion & Design (AFD), has been launched with an objective to fill this gap & to prepare young students for the admission Test of CEED, NID & NIFT, and guide them to a promising design career.

AFD also, help students prepare their design Portfolios for getting admission to Foreign Universities Excellent course material , experienced faculty and a committed management have built AFD into the most trusted institution in the area of preparing students for competitive entrance examinations for admission to NIFT/NID
