Graduation Project Ideas that can be Undergone from Home

This blog post is written for apparel and textile students. For those students from textile and fashion institutes who are looking for a way for doing their graduation project topics that can be performed from home.

We all know the current situation.

All the graduating students need to undergo project work and need to complete the assignment/ research projects/internship within the scheduled time frame.

Many garment companies including garment export houses, processing houses, fashion retailers, an organization with whom students can do their project work, and textile mills are not allowing internees to visit their factories.

So, students cannot visit their workplaces.

You might have good ideas for doing your project work (research work in the final year/final semester) but due to the current Pandemic situation, you can’t fulfill that.

Don’t get upset.

Choose an alternative topic and complete your graduation project. The idea that is triggering in your mind, you can do that later after leaving your college.

In this situation how college students can undergo their graduation projects and internships? Let's discuss how to overcome this time and get your college project done.

Some fashion institutes can allow their final year students for specific courses, working from home for completing their projects. I mean doing graduation projects without visiting a company physically (industry visit). Like we are doing our job from home (Work from home), internship and graduation projects can be done in the same ways.

Let's consider that a fashion technology student needs project ideas for his/her last semester. He/she will do complete research work from his/her home /college campus. No way to travel much for research work.

Now the main point is what types of projects can be selected for a research project?

Your project idea must be accepted by the project mentors and your department.

Read the following project ideas that might be helpful for you. After reading this list, you might get another better idea for your project work. Keep exploring.
