Design

Hi, Some of my friends have pursued this course at LPU and have shared excellent reviews about it. Let me just share the details for the same. LPU School of Fashion Design is among the fashion designing colleges in India where students learn the language of design and style. LPU ranks amongst the Top 200 universities of the world as per the prestigious Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2021

Government-led design institutes like NID, NIFT are great to pursue design. But they have extremely limited seats and very little innovation has been done in all these years. Then there are private institutions that have diverse courses but cost a fortune to study at. Their placements do not guarantee that you will be able to redeem your tuition costs even within 5 years. Some of the new and upcoming universities, like the Institute of Design at JK Lakshmipat University, would Sonepat, Anant National University, Avantika University are looking at innovative ideas, charging reasonable tuition fees and giving a host of opportunities. The IOD at JKLU especially gives up to 100% merit-based scholarships and study abroad opportunities to its students. Anant National University has a focus on the academic side of design which you can also look at.

Design is an exciting domain that blends creative and critical thinking. The role of designers today is not just limited to visual and aesthetic crafts, but they're problem solvers who identify the needs and problems of society and solve them with innovative designs. The fields of fashion and interior design are saturated in the market, do not yield soaring salaries and you can easily learn with a 6-month Diploma as well. However, fields like interaction design, interdisciplinary design, product design, integrated communication design are emerging domains that are converging with the tech-based future. These design domains give freedom to explore and be creative to individuals as much as they are financially rewarding. In fact, the biggest e-commerce companies, startups are all looking for talented designers who can design the face of their brands. From user interfaces to branding and logo design, you'll have more job satisfaction and have the scope of conducting academic design research. The Institute of Design at JK Lakshmipat University looks at the future of design and has some of the most innovative, comprehensive and future-ready programmes for talented designers.
