Looking at the past results, no student has been given placement from the college during their final year in M.Des, but they have certainly got Pre-Placement offers from the places they went for internship. The value of course done from here is impeccable which makes a student eligible to get excellent jobs in companies with their made portfolio.
I wouldn't suggest anybody to go for seeking after M.Des from University Of Petroleum and Energy Studies, because the required environment that a Designing student should get is not present here.
Furthermore, also if the placements are bad, no reason would overwhelm to concede affirmation in this college for planning to study even after various great open doors.
If one doesn't get admission in other better college then only one should go for taking admission in UPES for designing keeping it at the last priority. There are much better institutes in the nation like NIDs or Pearl Academy.

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.

Hi,
Look, if you are going for B.Des course, then Amity is not considered as a relatable University. For B.Des courses, there are many other better options such as NID, NIFT, Pearl, Srishti, IIAD to just name a few.
So, if you really looking forward for design career and you want to do good in it, then I would suggest you to go wtlith NID or NIFT, depending on the course, try their entrances. If you really have that creative eye on you, you'll definitely go through those entrances.
Amity University is a renowned university, but it's always better to go with a course specialisation college. For eg. Colleges such as NIFT are specialised in design career, but if we talk about Amity, then it's not the same. The University offers multiple courses, so it's always a risk for students in going with them.
Whereas NID is the most appropriate college for product design in India.
Hope this answer is useful to you.
All the best!

No doubt, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati is a better institute for Designing. IIT-Guwahati is a premier institutes in technology and innovation in India.

Hi, Never take any undue pressure when you are in CU. This year, 465 companies had its visit in CU and you can think taht there are only 365 days in a year but the no. Of companies here increase every year. Last year, it was 425.nYou will be placed here in any big corporate. Companies like Hewlett Packard, Flipkart, Google, Adobe, Amazon visitited Punjab campus for the 1st time to conduct their campus placements, the highest package offered to 2016 batch student touched Rs. 22.5 lacs.activities: PRATIBHA, AAGHAAZ, Rangmanch, RASHTRIYE HASYA KAVI SAMMELAN, ABHIVYAKTI, and participation in various events held at other colleges, there are various clubs you can join.nCU has good Joint Placement Record. There's no placement cell focusing only on DESIGN candidates but they are fed with placements just as the engineering students giving them almost equal opportunities. A lot of companies including the biggies visit the campus for the joint placement drive.So you can imagine the extent of competitiveness.EG:-A guy is from BE (CSE) then he needs to compete not only with the 1400 other BE (CSE) guys of his batch but also with the students from several other colleges who come to CU to participate in the Joint Placement Drive.But if you are knowledgeable enough that you can compete with all of them than its great.nAll the best.

Hi,
B.Des at IITG is very good where every other branch mostly envy the design branch particularly. The reason is their schedule, curriculum, decent packages which is very different from other regular branches.
I dont exactly know the details but heard from other Design mates that their average salary is around 15lakhs! (Cases like people with no placements, very high packages and people opting for higher studies will be present).
Placements: The placements at DoD are on par with the best of departments and institutes. The department has an institute wide best figures of 95+% of placed students, with only 3 of them still searching for opportunities. Last year, the department had a record 100 % record in placements. The slight decline this year can be attributed to the increase in batch strength, which almost doubled compared to last year. The average salary package of the Bachelors currently stands at 9.7 LPA.
EDIT: UPDATE: The current average salary package for the B.Des students has soared to around 15 LPA. This is for the 2011-2014 batch. I will update the exact figures shortly.
Some of the organisations that have recruited from the Department of Design in the recent past include:
Samsung Research Institute, India,
Microsoft India Development Center
Oracle
Flipkart
Samsung (SISO)
Housing.com
Clarice Technologies
Cognizant Technology Solutions
Accenture
Directi
DE Shaw
Infosys
TCS and a lot more.
Higher Study Prospects: Many students of the department have successfully enrolled themselves in well known courses in excellent institutes. Our alumni have received admits from various well known institutes like:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Stanford University
Harvard University
University of Michigan
Georgia Institute of Technology
Carnegie Mellon University
TU Delft and many more.
All the best.

Hello,
Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology or KIIT began it's journey in a two room apartment as a vocational skill imparting institute to today's deemed to be university spread over 25 Sq. Km area. It's equipped with almost all sports facilities and uses state of the art facilities for teaching. This Bhuvaneshwar based institution is one of the best in Odisha. Right from beginning, it has aimed at placing it's students with the industry. It has a good rapport with industry and it definitely helps to achieve placements. Of course this greatly depends on the students who put in lot of hard work with the motivated faculty to achieve excellence in academics. It claims to have placed 100% students last year. It's a four year Bachelors course in fashion design is a hit with students. With almost 20 different streams of studies, and hence related close knit network with Industry, students get opportunities to work as interns that in turn helps in final placements. It is a good Institute to opt for.
