B.Des. (Hons.) in Communication Design - Batch of 2028

Offered by Unitedworld Institute of Design, Karnavati University

3Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Satisfied with faculty. Gujarat people are not welcoming and warm. The infrastructure is great.

Placements: Many companies like Amazon, Nike, etc., come for placements. Roles offered are video editor, filmmaker, marketing executive, etc. 70-80% will get placed by the end of the 4th year as heard from seniors. The average package ranges from 8-12 LPA. Many students get placed in 3rd year also.

Infrastructure: All labs, classrooms, and infrastructure are very good. Food in the mess is decent although the hostel facility is not that good. The people are not that nice. Rules are very strict. Sports and games have many opportunities that you can pick. Wi-Fi we would like some more data than 50 GB/month.

Faculty: The faculty is amazing and helpful. Most of them are NIT and NIFT graduates. The course is relevant although they take extra money for almost every module. Exams are not that difficult. We have a jury system where you are judged one on one based on the whole work of the year.

Other: I wanted to get into marketing while learning graphic design, so I chose this course. Events are lesser, but when they happen, they are grand and creative. I wish the non-veg drama on campus does not happen and they become lenient about the timing at night.

Not a great crowd here. However, pretty good faculties and facilities for industrial design.

Placements: This institution do not have a placement cell . Quite frankly speaking , in industrial design there are very few placements . Not only that, the majority of them figure out everything by themselves and do not depend on the colleges placement cell . LinkedIn is honestly the way to go.

Infrastructure: Pretty good hostel services along with good facilities . Every lab is available for various materials as well as digital labs . The food is above average and it is pretty decent for a hostel . Medical facilities are not the best but not too bad either. Sports isn't that active here.

Faculty: Well-experienced faculties are present here and the curriculum is structured well. The teachers are knowledgeable with good industry experience . However, the teacher keeps changing semester by semester, and few faculties end up leaving so there are very few permanent faculties.

Review about Unitedworld Institute of Design.

Placements: Placements are offered to some of the top students only. I don't have a lot of knowledge about the placement system but I know this. As most of the students here are from Maharashtra, they mostly look for internships in Pune and Mumbai. The average package offered is INR 15,000.

Infrastructure: Twin-sharing hostels are good. Fees are high but the environment is good and there is a lot of storage compared to triple sharing. Interaction and making friends depend on you. In the hostel, there are no washing machines or canteens, which is disappointing.

Faculty: The faculty are very helpful and understanding. If you grasp concepts and take them with you, it is ideal. It is a good college overall. I feel like the curriculum is relevant and it makes the students industry-ready if they are consistent and keep working on themselves.

Review of Unitedworld Institute of Design, Karnavati University.

Placements: I don't know much about placements. Our seniors told us placements were average. Top recruiting companies are Tanishq, Amazon, Gini & Jony, etc. Approximately 70% of students get placed, and others seek other opportunities. The average salary package offered is 8 LPA to 12 LPA.

Infrastructure: We do not get unlimited Wi-Fi facilities. Classrooms are air-conditioned and soundproof, but the furniture is old and damaged. Workshops are good. They have enough tools. Supervision is done while working on machines. I am not satisfied with the library. It does not have books other than course-related books. Books for UI/UX design are not available there. The food served in the mess is unhygienic.

Faculty: Faculty members are good, friendly, and helpful. They are unpredictable when it comes to giving grades to students. You get experienced faculty members from the second year onwards. The curriculum is relevant and updated with new ideas. Every year, they change their methods of teaching. Semester exams are tough or easy depending on the external examiner who takes the jury.

The college has good infrastructure and faculty, but it is a bit expensive.

Placements: As I am still pursuing the course, I haven't got placed yet, but many of my seniors said that the placements are average. The top recruiting companies for our course are TCS etc. Top roles offered in my course are project design manager, designer etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is jaw-droppingly beautiful and well-maintained all the time. The hostel services are average, but the mess food is amazing and much better than most of the colleges with 3-4 canteens. Sports persons have a great scope as Karnavati's new brand ambassador is Mr. Kapil Dev sir.

Faculty: The faculty are amazing and well-educated. They know everything and are ready to help you even after college hours. The teaching quality is really good. The course curriculum is perfectly designed and updated every year. It does make the students industry-ready. The exams are really difficult, but it all depends on your hard work and your efforts.

Other: The crowd is really diverse and well educated and also very polite. The events are the best part of Karnavati, and it is always on the news. There are many clubs and talent-based groups for extracurricular activities.

It is a good college but I am dissatisfied with the management.

Placements: Lifestyle accessories design is a blend of jewellery, ceramic, leather, and home decor. The faculty of LSA provides guidance regarding these materials. Companies like Titan, Tanishq, Vinod Steel, Farah Khan Atelier, etc., visit our campus for placements. Although there are good companies coming for the placements, one cannot entirely depend on the college placements. Building a strong portfolio is more critical where faculty members guide the students.

Infrastructure: The lifestyle accessories design course includes working with different materials for which a jewellery workshop, wood workshop, metal workshop, laser-cutting workshop, ceramic workshop, and a leather workshop are provided. Mess and hostel facilities are also provided.

Faculty: At our university, faculty members are helpful and knowledgeable enough to guide the students. Although one cannot entirely depend upon the faculty for everything, one needs to explore by themselves and read books from the library or search for other study materials. There are faculty members who are biased and because of their biased attitude, students suffer.

Other: UID is good for its infrastructure, the events they organise, and its connections. Although their management is poor, it needs to be improved.
