It has very good infrastructure.

Placements: The Dot School of Design is successfully placing the students in high professional jobs with good salaries. Almost everybody is covered with placement. There are many top recruiting companies taking placements in our college. Companies did not see the score of the students but see their talent, and they require 70 percent.

Infrastructure: Our college has very good infrastructure with hostel facilities and a canteen. Many clubs are available like sports, dance, ramp walk, music etc. The quality of the facilities in my college, the food available in the canteen is good. The medical facilities and sports are very good.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. This course curriculum is relevant and makes one industry ready. Clearing the exam paper is very easy. Faculty are trying to score students at a very high percentage. Teachers are explaining the concepts with very fine examples and demonstrations.

Other: Basically I have interest in architecture. My option is to take Interior Design. Our college has events, fests, campus and extracurricular activities. Every month my college conducts a ramp section, sports session, music session, and the students are actively performing all the sessions.

I like our department faculty very much because they work closely with us.

Placements: Design college placements are different and more challenging because every student and their ideas are different. So the placement team does their best. The industry also expects unique values. Most students prefer to work independently after college. Some students start their own design studios.

Infrastructure: I had earlier studied in a regular arts and science college, but I dropped out. After joining here, I realize how much I like this kind of classroom system. It feels more like a co-working space than a traditional classroom. Here, the classroom is a whole space rather than just a study room.

Faculty: The marking system is different because it is mostly practical. We do not need to compare ourselves with other classmates because everyone is different. Faculty also does not compare us with other students. They just expect our own style and understanding.
