Interior Design

Hi Prajwal,
Absolutely! In this day and age, one has the opportunity to pursue their dreams and if yours is in the area of Interior Design then there's nothing stopping you. Applying your knowledge in Computer Science / IT to Interior Design is definitely a good starting point. For instance, the application and understanding of AutoCAD and its relevance in Interior Design is essential and invaluable; looking at the application of AI for designing interiors is also an upcoming area. So yes, your knowledge and degree in Computer Science Engineering will be a great advantage when choosing Interior Design for your Masters M.Des Interior Design). You would need to appear for a Design Aptitude Test for the university / institute you plan to apply for. Do have a look at the websites of IILM University Gurugram, NID to get an idea about the dates for the next round of entrance for the M.Des course offered in Interior Design. IILM University is having the Online that on 23rd May 2020.

Hi,
It is always preferred to go for a regular degree course dear. A Diploma course is usually a short term thing which will help you for a certain period of time in your career but it's benefit won't last for very long. You cannot grow more in your field with these courses. I am not denying that your experience, efforts and skills do matter in how much successful you will be in your life but you cannot purely leave it to that. Courses do help you to get proper education, push in your career and self development.
Diploma courses are designed for immediate benefits which give you a minor stunt in your career when you SEE no growth in your job or just to shift from one area of work to the other. Diplomas give you basic knowledge and ideas of your subject but a full time degree course is very deeply designed to give an overall development of your skills and mindset.
Degrees stay with you all along your career life and they are valued even more when they grow old being part of an organisation. Degrees will be acknowledged by all your future employers and you will hold more value and preference over others.
So definitely, I would suggest you to go for a regular course of interior designing. I have been to IILM University, and would like to mention it to you for consideration. So you can definitely consider IILM University Gurugram for graduate and post graduate courses in interior designing and the university campus is also centrally located in the heart of Gurugram which will help you gain a lot of real life exposure with a pool of real estate players, building concepts, new age designers and interior consultation companies.
