B.Des. + M.Des. in Environment & Space Design - Batch of 2022

3Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

It is a preferable option for design field.

Placements: About 65% of students are placed. The package is Rs. 15,000 per month to Rs. 25,000 per month for freshers. Top recruiters are Swiggy, HOF, Rooshad Shroff, Crio, Design ki Peti, EA Adorn, Task Design, and Flash Fuels. About 100% of students get internships at companies like VIP, Godrej, etc. Top roles offered are product designer as a Ui/Ux designer, lifestyle designer, or hardcore industrial designer.

Infrastructure: It has Wi-Fi, labs, a product lab, a fashion lab, studios, a Mac Lab, etc. The quality of food is good and we get a lot of variety to choose from. Medical facilities are also available. Sports and games are not that entertaining in a design college, which is a limitation.

Faculty: The teaching quality is good, especially for the product design course. Teachers are Ph.D. holders, so that creates a good impact. The pass percentage is around 99%. The course curriculum is relevant for the product design field but not that relevant for other fields.

Other: I chose this course as it is quite interesting and has got a great future as per the upcoming market trends. A very good event named Ahmedabad Design Fest was celebrated and had a remarkable experience. A lot of fests and events are celebrated on campus.

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

I am satisfied with the college, assured 100% placements and excellent faculty members.

Placements: Placements are excellent as many students got placed in top MNCs even after this global pandemic. The detailed reports with exact numbers would be published for the year 2020-2021. The college provides esteemed internships in every field, and many students got selected in renowned companies like Spotify etc.

Infrastructure: I like the campus infrastructure. There are many cubicles outside where we can sit, sketch or discuss. There are 4-storeyed buildings, and classrooms are also very decent with air-conditioners and proper tables with locker facilities. A canteen is available. MAC labs are also available here.

Faculty: The faculty members are well-qualified in their respective fields. We enjoy learning with teachers, and they are also very helpful in whatever field you seek help. Our director, Dr. Anil Sinha, is an expert in graphic designing. His knowledge and experience in the field are very inspiring. We also learn a lot from our classmates, and there are also various courses in which we group with the other field classmates like students from product design. We get to learn much from these courses.

Other: The college hosts the top design fest in the state named Ahmedabad Design Fest, with amazing artworks done by students. There are also many comic shows, dancing and singing events. It also included many sports events and also popular events like JOT Talks, where we get to interact with various talented experts of the field.

Review of GLS Institute of Design.

Placements: About 90% of students get placed in my course, but it mostly depends on your grades and portfolio. The highest package can be around 6 LPA, and the lowest can be around Rs. 60,000. In the last year of the course, it is mostly internships, so everyone is encouraged to find an internship.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are equipped with AC and drawers. There are lockers for students. There is a fashion lab, Mac lab, canteen, woodworking lab, and stitch room, all for students to use. The college does not provide on-campus housing, but there are options near the campus, like Circle and Hives.

Faculty: All teachers are qualified to teach. Some faculty have studied at GLSID itself. Many faculty have master's degrees from NID. The curriculum is divided into different modules. Geometric, Design Drawing, and more. There are assignments and practical-based work.

Other: The events are all student-oriented. Clubs are happening every day after official class hours.
