From what I've seen, yes—CU's Industrial Design students can definitely move into UI/UX careers. The course isn't limited to just physical products like furniture or appliances. A big part of our training is also about understanding how users interact with digital platforms. Professors give us assignments where we design app interfaces, websites, or even smart device screens. We also learn about wireframing, usability testing, and how to make designs simple and user-friendly. Since UI/UX is in demand, many companies that visit campus for placements also hire for these roles. I know a senior who joined a tech startup as a UX designer after completing the program. So, if you are interested in the digital side of design, you'll get the right exposure and skills at Chandigarh University to pursue that career path.

If you have just gave your boards and you enjoy designing, it really depends on what kind of design you enjoy more.Idustrial Design is about creating products-things people use every day, like furniture, gadgets or tools. It mixes creativity with engineering and technical skills .Interior Design is about designing spaces- making homes, offfices or public areas look good and work well. If you like building physical products, experimenting with materials, and working on new concepts, Industrial design could be better. But if you enjoy decorating spaces, working with colors, Layouts and furniture placement, Interior Design might suit you more. At Chandigarh University, both courses have good facilities, so the choice comes down to what excites you more.

Hostel life at Chandigarh University is the bestest one, you get to learn a lot, compromise a lot, you make new connections, study together, eat together and even have fun together, it's like your own new family. There are separate hostels for boys and girls with all modern facilities. The rooms are clean and have AC and non-AC options. Students can choose single, double, or multi-sharing rooms as per their needs. The hostel mess serves fresh and hygenic food and the food is prepared on a rotational menu and each day there are some different cuisines. There are also food courts, night canteens and tuck shops for snacks and other essentionals. Drinking water coolers are also clean and hygiene is well maintained. The hostel has Wi-Fi, common rooms with TV, music rooms also where I really used to enjoy a lot.

Honestly, the teaching in Industrial Design at Chandigarh University is not just sitting in lectures and writing notes—it's quite hands-on. We do get the theoretical part, especially in the beginning, like understanding design concepts, materials, or human factors. But most of the time, professors want us to create and experiment. We spend a lot of time in studios, working on projects where we build models or try out ideas using software and prototyping tools. Sometimes it feels like a design lab more than a classroom, which I really enjoy. The practical exposure through live projects and industry-linked assignments keeps things interesting and prepares us for real jobs. Theory is there to guide us, but the actual learning happens while working on projects. For me, this practical-heavy approach makes the course feel very relevant.
