It has been ranked Number 1 Design School (North India), and Number 2 Fashion School (All India) in the 2014 Edutainment Awards.〔 For academics it has been ranked by Hindustan Times as Number 1 institute in India for 'Pedagogic Procedures and Processes' (2010) and Number 1 in 'Competence of Faculty' (2009). ==History== Pearl Academy of Fashion was set up in 1993 by the Little People Education Society and registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860. The academy was initially promoted by House of Pearl Fashions Ltd, an Indian export house. Starting with a campus in Okhla in South Delhi, the academy later moved to a larger campus in Naraina, in the West of the city. In 1995 a collaboration with Nottingham Trent University (UK) began, and NTU became the validating body for Pearl courses. Expansion saw new campuses being added in Jaipur (2005) and Chennai (2006).〔http://www.indianexpress.com/talk/news/in-gear/1084337〕 The Jaipur centre moved to a new custom design-and-build campus in 2008, after which a new campus in Noida opened in 2012. A new centre in Mumbai has been announced, with the first batch being admitted in August 2014. In 2011 Pearl entered into a long term partnership with Laureate International Universities, and it is now part of the LIU global network which includes more than 80 institutions around the world.〔http://www.laureate.net/OurNetwork〕 In 2012 the institute's name was changed to Pearl Academy, in recognition of the growing number of courses in design and business. The academy now has over 2200 students, more than 100 full-time faculty, and around 70 part-time faculty.〔http://pearlacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/StudentHandBookAY2012-13.pdf〕 A large number of guest faculty are also actively involved in teaching and serving on juries for assessment of projects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pearl Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
