Namuna College of Fashion Technology (NCFT) is Nepal’s first Fashion College and the initiator and pioneer of academic education in Fashion in the country.
We introduced Nepal’s first ever Bachelors course in Fashion through our three-year Bachelor of Fashion Design (BFD) program (6 Semesters) in 2002 in affiliation with the Purbanchal University. In 2016, we introduced Nepal’s first four-year Bachelors course in Fashion (8 semesters) through our Bachelor of Fashion Design and Management (BFDM) program, also in affiliation with Purbanchal University.
The efforts made by the college to provide a rigorous academic background, complemented by a practical curriculum, an outstanding team of faculty members, incisive teaching-learning methodology, excellent infrastructure and working relationship with foreign design institutions, is well recognized among Nepali fashion’s stakeholders.
Similarly, the success of our graduates as entrepreneurs and career professionals in the Nepali fashion-sphere has contributed to further consolidating Namuna’s status as the veritable pioneer and pre-eminent name in fashion education in the country.

NCFT has given me so much knowledge and skills that have become my tool to rise in the current fashion scenario. Advanced and revised course, well-skilled faculty members, extra training on different sectors, student-friendly college premises and advanced teaching methods makes NCFT the best fashion designing college in Nepal.
The teaching and learning system at the college is a blend of rigorous theory and practical education. Besides theory classes, the college encourages a strong focus on practical classes so that students can transfer their theoretical knowledge into reality. Instructional methods of lectures–with the use of audiovisual/multimedia tools, demonstrations, and project/lab work– contribute to the effectiveness of what is being learnt. The college also arranges regular industrial visits to various textile/garment factories, production/export houses and other related organizations. Students also benefit from numerous talk programs, guest lectures, and workshops that are arranged and/or conducted by the College.
A testament to the strength of our teaching-learning methodology is that our graduates have been awarded by the former/current President and Prime Minister of Nepal for their outstanding academic achievements and have also been declared winners in high-profile designing contests held in Nepal.
