IIFD – Indian Institute of Fashion and Design has three campuses in India. The main campus is in Chandigarh. The other two are in Mohali and Kolkata. If you are trying to reach the institute, visit a campus, or simply confirm whether there is one near you, here are the exact addresses and contact numbers for each location.
IIFD Chandigarh
The Chandigarh campus is the primary location and the one most students refer to when they talk about IIFD. It sits on the second floor of SCO 479-480, Sector 35 C, near ICICI Bank, Chandigarh.
Contact: 0172-4007918 / 9041766699
Chandigarh is a well-planned city and relatively easy to navigate. The SCO address puts the campus in a commercial sector, which means it is accessible by auto, cab, or public transport from most parts of the city. If you are visiting for the first time, the ICICI Bank branch nearby is a useful landmark to look for.
The city itself has a direct airport – Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport located in the adjoining Mohali area, with daily flights from Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Students coming from other states generally fly in or take the train to Chandigarh Junction, both of which are manageable entry points to the city.
IIFD Mohali
The Mohali campus is at Plot Number 603, near Classic Furniture Mall, Industrial Area Phase 9, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, Punjab 160062.
Contact: 0172-4783433
Mohali and Chandigarh share a border, and for most practical purposes the two function as one continuous urban area. People who live in one city regularly work or study in the other without thinking much of it. The Phase 9 Industrial Area is a well-known commercial belt in Mohali, and the Classic Furniture Mall is a recognizable local landmark that makes the campus easy to find.
If you are coming from Chandigarh, the Mohali campus is roughly a 20 to 30 minute drive depending on traffic. Students attending this campus have the same access to the broader Chandigarh – Mohali region its retail sector, design events, and fashion industry connections as those at the main Chandigarh location.
IIFD Kolkata
The Kolkata campus is at KB-22, Salt Lake Bypass, near AMRI Hospital, Sector 3, Bidhannagar, Kolkata, West Bengal 700106.
Contact: +91-9147082975
Bidhannagar commonly known as Salt Lake is one of the more organized and well-connected parts of Kolkata. The Salt Lake Bypass is a major road, and AMRI Hospital is a prominent healthcare facility in the area, making it a reliable landmark for anyone navigating to the campus for the first time. The location is close to several metro and bus routes, so getting there by public transport is not difficult.
Kolkata is a different environment from Chandigarh in obvious ways. The city has its own textile history, a long-running garment and handloom industry, and a cultural scene that keeps design both fashion and interior active and relevant. For students from West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, or the northeast, this campus removes the need to relocate all the way to north India, which is a genuine practical consideration for many families.
Choosing a Campus
All three campuses run IIFD’s programs in fashion design and interior design. The curriculum does not change based on location. What changes is the city you are living in while you study the internship ecosystem around you, the industry exposure available locally, the cost of living, and how close you are to home.
Chandigarh and Mohali are better options if you want to be in the north India fashion corridor, with reasonable proximity to Delhi and the retail activity concentrated in that region. Kolkata makes more sense if you are from the east and want to build connections within that local industry.
For any admissions query, course details, or campus visit scheduling, the contact numbers above are the most direct way to reach each location. If you are unsure which campus to contact first, the Chandigarh number 0172-4007918 handles general inquiries for the institute as a whole.
