Interior Design

Hi, it is always preferred to go for a degree course dear. A Diploma and certificate 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. Diplomas and certificate 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 Masters degree course. Shifting to any other field of design doesn't put your value down. You can consider M.Des interior design for Masters. You can consider IILM University Gurugram for this option. They also offer liberal education which allows you to pursue your passions so even if you want to change your field, you may still be able to study some subjects of other fields which is the best part of Liberal Education. You get to choose your subjects.

Typically, in most universities/institutes that provide an undergraduate course in Interior Design require candidates to have completed their 10+2 in any discipline. Further, you are required to clear the Design Aptitude test. Considering the current circumstances, institutes and universities are conducting the admission process online. IILM University Gurugram for instance is holding an Online Design Aptitude Test on 2nd May 2020. (registration link: https://fs12.formsite.com/iilmedu/DAT2020/index.html)
IILM University offers B. Des (Interior/ Product/Fashion /Interaction Design) and B.A. (Hons) courses in Design and Fashion apart from Management, Law, Technology and Humanities and Social Sciences. Hope that helps answer your question.
