A fun campus life and good facilities .
Placements: They do offer internships to you; if you're capable and able to crack interviews by firms that are introduced to you, you will definitely get internship opportunities. Interviews are held on campus only so you don't have to visit somewhere else. You can definitely go to this institution.
Infrastructure: Facilities are nice, I would say. As an interior design student, we don't need many facilities. Just the basic needs and they are there. But for fashion design students, sewing machines and everything else are there. For us, we need to carry our own laptop, as we have to work on that only.
Faculty: I'll be honest, we had good faculty members when I first joined. The first year was very smooth but then 2 of our good teachers left and now only 2 teachers are left for the interior department. I hope this changes over time and that future students get to learn from more than 2 teachers as well.
Other: My final exams are going on currently and I'll be passed out then. Overall, my experience with INSD was very nice! I have created a lot of memories here and if I talk about the institution, I think it's quite safe to join.

The journey in this college is beautiful.

Classrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated as it is a fashion college. Only vegetarian food is served on the campus.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are excellent and very well qualified and helpful. They are very hardworking and are very cooperative. They work hard and pay attention to every student's need. The course includes industrial visits which give a good impression to students about the field of work.

It is the best design college in Kolkata, and I am very happy for being a part of this college.
Placements: Since I am still pursuing my course (masters in fashion designing and technology), so I don't know proper information about placements. However, our institute provides 100% training and placement assistance from more than 30 training and placement partners and makes students industry-ready. So, I am sure if I give my 100% and work hard, then our institute definitely will provide me with good placement.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our institute is really good, and there are air-conditioned classrooms. Our institute is well maintained with modern technology and equipment. Students will get all the facilities which they would need. Right now, we are attending online classes. I am waiting for the situation to get better, so the institute will conduct offline classes as before.
Faculty: The teachers of our institute are very kind, friendly and helpful. They are also very much knowledgeable and would always clear the doubts of students which they have. Their teaching technique is very easy and modern. Although we are attending online classes right now, we never faced any problem or hesitation to learn about practical work.
