Design

Prefer IIT Bombay anytime over State School of Design, when it comes to B.Des Industrial design. If you have a credible body of specimen work done by you, as is expected of the students of top-notch design schools, you might get placed right on the Campus itself.or you might get work orders as a freelancer. The second option, though paying less at the initial stage, keeps the prospects open for you to get enhanced earnings as the reputation grows. So, before your academic terms end, build an impressive spec file, and have soft copies ready. If there is any work worth claiming IPR on, do take care to get these registered, before circulation.
Placements are good as there is a high demand for designers in the market. During my time, a lot of service companies like TCS, Infosys etc. came to campus for placement. However, the trend has changed to Product companies now. The minimum package you can expect is around 8L per annum and the maximum goes up to 24L for a fresher.

Hi,
Going for the higher studies or getting a job after completing Bachelors in visual arts is totally up to you. If you want to do a government job or you are very keen to study further then you should go for higher studies. Otherwise, if you want to do private jobs only, then it's better you start early because in the industry, experience is always more valuable than a Master's degree. So, why to pay fee for another two years. It's better you earn money and add up to your experience because what you learn in the industry is totally different than what you learn in the college.
Whatever you choose to do, just make sure first that what you want from your life. I hope you make a good decision.
All the best.

Hi,
I am listing down the NIFT centres according to their overall ranks:
1-New Delhi
2-Mumbai
3-Bangalore
4-Gandhinagar
5-Chennai
6-Hyderabad
7-Kolkata
8-Patna
9-Kangra
10-Bhopal
11-Kannur
12-Shillong
13-Jodhpur
14-Raebareli
15-Srinagar
You can't really judge the NIFT centres because all the centres follow the same syllabus and system. All of their faculty members and the staff is highly qualified. Yes, the infrastructure of centres like New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore is much better than the centres like Raebareli, Srinagar and Jodhpur. Also, all the resources and exposure one gets at NIFT-Delhi is much more than what you get at those small centres, but not because those small centers don't provide their students anything, but it's because Delhi is a metropolitan city and there are fabric and material markets like Nehru Place, Lajpat Nagar, Chandni Chowk, Palam, etc., and one can easily go out for market research and sourcing and also there is Amazon Fashion Week, Indian Couture Week, where students can go and look for the latest designers collection.
The complete education doesn't depend on all these things, it's just a part of design education and it all depends on the student that how much they are keen about learning things because of many a times students from the small centres for the better placements than the Delhi or Mumbai centre students, but on an average, more people of NIFT-Delhi, Bangalore or Mumbai get better placement offers than the other centers, not because they are more talented, but because the industry has the wrong thinking about the NIFT centers.
Anyways, it's better if you get a seat at NIFT-Delhi centre.
I hope this list will help you out.
All the best.
