Clothing and Textiles is one of the technical departments in KITI. The department trains in various Textile courses which are designed to prepare trainees for self- employment. The department has a well-equipped workshop with both electrical and manual machines to suit the training needs of our clients. Courses undertaken in the department include Diploma in Fashion Design and Clothing Technology, Craft in Fashion Design and Garment Making, Tailoring and Dressmaking including Embroidery and Tie and Dye.
The department also conducts a course in Hair Dressing and Beauty Therapy which takes one year.
The trainees go for attachment to Textile industries after their first year of learning. They also go for academic tours in the course of their training. The Department has a Production Unit which majors in the making of Dust coats, Overalls and Chef Suits which are sold at quite a fair price to both the students and any other client even from outside the institute.
