The best and the shortest way to become a UX/UI Designer after 12 th is B.Des (Bachelor of Design) in UX/UI, Interaction Design, or even User Experience Design courses which is offered by the top design colleges in India such as NID, MIT Institute of Design, Symbiosis Institute of Design. Or otherwise, a B.Tech/B.E. in Computer Science Engineering specializing in UI/UX is a great choice of technical and design combination. Relevant other degrees are B.Sc. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) or Multimedia/Digital Design or even B.A./B.Sc. Psychology or Cognitive Science, frequently completed with extra design courses.

To pursue a B.Des in UX Design, your subject combination in 10+2 should ideally include a mix of arts, science, and potentially some commerce.

Though they usually overlap, Product Design, Industrial Design, and UX Design are different disciplines. The Product Design works on the overall product experience, focusing on user interface, user experience, and aesthetics, ensuring a fully functional product for the end user.

You can say the UX Design is a subset of Product Design, inclined towards usability and overall user experience of a product, specifically in digital contexts. Industrial Design gives more value to the physical appearance, functionality, and manufacturability of the good, especially the ones designed for mass production.
