In India, design education is so expensive. Companies like IBM Google prefer students from top tier colleges like iit, nift or mit etc. If you have lot of money to burn then it good choice but if you are coming from middle class background then self learn and get internships in good startups. This gives you industry exposure as well as some good experience. But be aware in which company you are applying.

This is absolutely true..I am from DTU, Delhi in B.Des, I opt for this college because I thought this is a tier 1 engineering college so they will have good placements..but that's not true at all, and I can't explain the condition of faculty.. I just regret how I spent over 9 lakh for nothing, I learnt everything on KZbin itself and now looking for off campus placement

[@divyasdrawer1357]

Along with this information can you please also suggest some affordable colleges.Is LPU good for interior design?

[@yashn8698]

Which is a better career option & which has better scope of growth? I finished my bachelors in interior design, I was not really interested in entering this field but due to parents pressure I had to. I like cars since childhood and was passionate about designing cars but my parents were not in the favour. I did some research about other careers in design and shortlisted a few, my first choice is obliviously Automotive & Transportation Design, then even Yacht Design caught my attention. Currently I'm pursuing a crash course in 3D animation (aim was to learn the tools & techniques to model a particular vehicle) but now even VFX seems pretty promising. Now I'm stuck in this loop, don't know which one to opt for.

[@KaphalStudio]

Sometimes choice has to be made between what you love and what is relevant. It is good to explore different streams but focus on employability i.e. where it is easier to build great career. Connect with professionals on LinkedIn. They will show you the path.

[@MegaARYARAJ]

the only reason i am pausing my mdes from Govt and Private... Syllabus are old in NID /IITs/Other govt design colleges as well... offcourse the exposure and alumni network is different there.. but in case of private colleges like kalinga /Chitkara/Jain/UPES etc all are basically providing certificate course in 2 years (named as degree) with a fees above 12Lacs... I found the best courses/syllabus only in abroad like ASU/Tu Delft/MichiganState/Georgia tech/Caltech etc.. they have the best structure for design(offcourse you need to have a technical bg for that but that's what Modern design is). But its useless if you don't have scholarships to pay for those courses..

[@KaphalStudio]

That's true about the curriculum here!

[@amishapanda6686]

[@dakshsinghchhikara9056]

[@sophics_studio]

I agree paying 20 lakh for visual communication or ui ux is not worth it that's why I am aiming towards product design as I was able to learn graphic design for FREE literally for FREE.

[@nitishchaudhary6185]

I will suggest if you are looking for private college the best option is Strate in bangalore. Just be sure, it all depends on your skills, time management, taking frequent feedbacks from your faculties. I believe they have the best placements in india, since its also one of the colleges linked with strate france.

[@50my4]

have you studied from that uni or do you know somebody who does:?

[@ShouryaBhatnagar131]

What to choose: Brand value and alumni network of college but with a fees of total 14 lakh OR New college with low alumni network with a fees of 8-9 lakh (For M.des)

[@adityapanicker2488]

If you've already done bdes then maybe u might not need the brand value or alumni network...but if you started from mdes then you definetly need brand value and alumni cuz you need a source of income to fix the 14 lakhs worth of dent on your pocket. instead you could go for colleges who are in perfect ratio...good brand value, subpar level of alumni network and slightly less expensive college.(This is just a suggestion tho..i am a cse student so im probably not qualified enough to speak about Mdes ...tho i plan to join Mdes after I complete cse)
