Design

Hi Isha,
No, you can't opt because you have given an entrance exam for Bachelors of design.Bachelors in technology's entrance exam is a different exam where the eligibility criteria and the exam pattern are totally different than that of B.Des exam. If you wouldn't get through the counselling of B.Des then the only option you will be left with is to apply for NRI seats, for that you don't have to be an NRI, it's just that they will charge you a fee 4 times more than that of non NRI seats and I personally wouldn't suggest you to do that because in that amount of money you can go for any European fashion college. So, you better look for other colleges too or drop this year and try hard.

Hello,
Symbiosis Institute of Design is part of Symbiosis International deemed to be University. This gives it a wide scope to design it's courses as per the market demand.
The institute is located in Pune, the second most industrialized city in Maharashtra after Mumbai. Due to this, the institution is well placed to tap into this pool for placing it's students at appropriate levels.
Again, the Institute has not given out any specific data about placements of students year wise. It indeed has given out a long list of industries that came for campus recruitment. This, in itself is great to show that possibly almost all students must have been placed. Symbiosis has a great name in academic circles and it's courses are considered to be tailored to the market demands and this in turn enables it to place students for internships followed by actual placements after the end of the course. I would say that students have great opportunities for placements here.

Hello,
Kolhapur, this is the place that is famous in Maharashtra for folk music, folk cinema, arts etc. Since ages. In fact in olden days, majority of Marathi Cinemas were produced here. This necessitated requirement of designers of sets, interior, clothing, textiles etc.
Hence, no wonder that Kalaprabodhini decided to have their institute of design in this city. The courses offered are affiliated to Shivaji University, and hence follow the expected pattern.
However, I am worried about the placements, since Kolhapur is not having a big industrial base. Also, the film studios have shifted out and hence corresponding requirement of designers of different hues is also reduced. Though, it must be accepted that the college is doing everything it can to enable students to get placed. Unfortunately, status or data of the latest years is not available on it's website. But, this could be a consideration for prospective students.

Hi,
There's no second thought before I write this. Of course, it has to be NID, as it's an institute of national importance. AAFT, on the other hand is a private institute and is known for B.Des as well. NID is best known for design courses, and you will have ample of opportunities after passing out from there. Coming to it's placements, several graduates tend to start their own studio. According to LinkedIn, 377 out of 3500 graduates are Entrepreneurs (Nowhere close to the 60% stat by Sumit Shah, but I hope he can give some source). Popular companies (based on no. Of NIDians employed) are Cognizant, Microsoft, SAP, Adobe, Samsung, Godrej, HFI etc.
All your main/subject questions lead to one destination that is how much money you can earn after graduating from NID. If that is the only concern you have, then start your own business to earn. NID won't teach you how to earn money. You have to use your 100% brains, if you have to be on the top. How NID can help you to put you in good companies? It also depends on the stream you apply for. \
Now look at another scenario. Let's say you love textile design, and you want to apply for Textile/Apparel design at NID, right. What if I tell you that go for some of the UX related courses in NID to get more packages, will you just listen to me and go ahead with it? If yes, then you have got no passion for a particular design rather than earning money. If that is the case, then stop doing it. Have a vision where do you want to be and as a what. You will earn money for sure after graduating from colleges, like NID or IIT that would take some time along with the level of industry experience you have.

Hi, NIFT is undoubtedly the best Institute in India and is well reputed internationally as well.nNIFT Alumni are always given an edge over the other colleaguesnYou can apply for scholarships, which is given on the basis of merit, financial background or bothnIn Design course, you do have a lot of projects and submissions. Yes, it does involve extra expenses. On an average you'll be spending approximately 6-7000 on them. But they do add to your portfolio and are totally worth it.nIn terms of package, you can expect a min of 23-25000 INR pm in hand.nYou do have a lot of spare time during the course. So, you can always utilize them to earn few extra bucks.nIf you are very much interested in design and strongly want to pursue it as your profession, Ill say yes. But if you are not sure about it, don't take it forward. Design is too much of hard work and extensive research and getting practical as well as balancing the artsy side. Most don't find it suitable and that become their the worst decision. So if you really want to ask if its worth, ask yourself will you able to? And how interested are you? All the best.
