4Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life

Intriguing two years of design education.

Placements: Around 70% of us got places in large organisations and startups. For some placements usually happened smoothly and for the others they had to look out and pursue for months. The companies that visited during the graduation show were IMB, Microsoft and some local startups.

Infrastructure: I don't think Srishti had a good Wi-Fi infrastructure. Classes were decent. The whole building was shared with another institution. The college was spread out into 4 buildings across different areas in the vicinity. Sometimes we would have to jump from one area to another for some college administration work.

Faculty: The teachers were good, knowledgeable and since art and design is very subjective, the out come of our exercise used to be different across students and this made it more interesting. The institution managed to give us an off-site for a subject that we were learning.

Other: Regular sporting events, talent shows and seminars from known design speakers.
