I don't want to visit the college again.

Placements: Placements provided in our college were the worst. Students of my senior batch and my batch were not placed through campus placements. We, students, made efforts to get placed and also to get internships. The average salary offered was about Rs. 10,000 per month. Mostly, companies ask the students to pay money or to do an internship without any stipend. Only 1% of the students got placed with the help of faculty members.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was good enough. Now, they are making it better, but the fee structure is high which is a burden for students. Hostel facilities were okay and could be better. I've faced many issues during my tenure in the college, but no solutions were provided.

Faculty: Some of the teachers in our college were good, but some of them were the worst. Some of the faculty members deserve their positions, and we have to follow them. Teaching methods of good faculty members were good enough. Faculty members of every department were not up to the mark. We got industry exposure. The course curriculum could be more useful, and it has to be better.

Other: Uncountable events and fun activities were organised in our college. Scholarships were not provided to the students. We were not confirmed even about getting the degree certificate.

UID - one of the best colleges for Design.

Placements: UID has given me a really good placement after completing my Master's. I am currently working with a reputed designer in Mumbai, Maharashtra. I further plan to open up my own design studio after I gather up some experience from the industry. I am thankful to UID for giving me such a wonderful opportunity in the industry.

Infrastructure: UID has one of the best state of the art infrastructure. It has a lush green ginormous campus. It has an iconic sandstone structure which makes the campus even more spectacular. The classrooms are equipped with modern facilities. We also had design studio's which made the experience even better. The canteens, hostel rooms were also good. We also had proper grounds available for different sports and a gym is available for the students to work out in.

Faculty: UID provides its students with new dimensions of work with its learning facilities. The faculty team out here is one of the best with faculty members from top design schools like NID and NIFT. The course also includes a lot of Guest /Expert Lectures, Industry Visits, Internships, Workshops with artisans, International Visits and Live Projects.

Other: Life at UID has been one of the best experiences for me at least. The campus crowd and surroundings were really good. There were a lot of events and fests. We also had sports competitions on the campus. A lot of celebrity visits and fashion shows were organized for the design students which provided us with great exposure.
