Department of Textile and Fibre Engineering at IIT Delhi is one of the
oldest and most prestigious colleges offering Textile Education in India. It has the
distinction of being the only Textile Department in the IIT system. It offers one UG
program in Textile Technology and three PG programs in Textile Chemical Processing,
Textile Engineering and Fiber Science & Technology, besides offering the Doctoral
program. Alumni of the department are holding senior positions of responsibility in
Indian industry and are employed as teachers and researchers in various organisations
round the country.
Teaching and research activities in the department focus on niche and futuristic areas including new manufacturing technologies, Smart textiles, Nanotechnology, Eco friendly processing and Biotextiles. Engineering of functional apparel such as medical clothing, pressure garments, extreme cold weather clothing and bullet proof vests are important areas of current research.
The department has active interaction with several global institutes such as the University of Bolton, UK and the University of Liberec, Czech Republic, in terms of fellowships and internships as well as faculty exchange and joint research. An EU project involving EPFL, Switzerland, Uppsala, Sweden, RWTH, Aachen and UC, London is carrying out research in Tissue Engineering. The department has strong interactions with Institute of Natural Fibers, Poznan, CSIRO Fibres and Textiles Technology, Melbourne, CNR-ISMAC, Shinshu University, Japan, Hanoi University of Technology, Vietnam and NCSU of USA leading to mutually rewarding activities.

World University of Design (WUD), established in 2018 at Rajiv
Gandhi Education City, Sonipat (Delhi NCR), is a university dedicated to education
and research in the creative disciplines. Established under the Haryana Private
University Act, 2006, WUD is empowered to confer degrees under Sections 2(f) and 22
of the UGC Act. The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral
programs across Architecture, Design, Fashion & Textile, Communication, Visual Arts,
Performing Arts, and Business & Management. Within this framework, textiles and
fashion form a significant area of academic engagement, with a focus on both
design-led and technology-oriented approaches.
Teaching and research activities at WUD span areas relevant to contemporary developments in textiles and clothing, including functional apparel, sustainable and circular materials, smart textiles, and digital design processes. The university encourages interdisciplinary work across domains, enabling integration of materials, design innovation, and user-centred approaches. Areas such as performance clothing, craft-based textile systems, and emerging applications in wearable technologies form part of ongoing academic and research initiatives.
WUD maintains academic and research collaborations with a number of national and international institutions, facilitating student exchange, joint projects, and knowledge-sharing initiatives. The university publishes the Journal of Art, Architecture & Design (JAARD) and actively engages in conferences, exhibitions, and industry-linked projects. Through its academic and research activities, WUD seeks to contribute to evolving areas of textiles and clothing, with particular attention to sustainability, innovation, and interdisciplinary practice
