Honest unbiased review of symbiosis institute of design

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fees excluding hostel is around ?19.4 lakh for the entire four-year course for Indian students . International students pay more. stationary is catered for by students according to course requirements and takes up a significant amount overtime. The fees do increase later on, and there are backlog fines. There are also scholarships available for certain classes, north eastern students and military wards. details for the same are available on the SID website.

Student Snaps:

The annual fees for the bachelor's degree in design course is approximately 5lakhs. This includes tuition fees and access to all machineries and labs present in the college campus. This does not however include cost of materials that you will require for your assignments. Those would be additional expense on the part of the student and will depend on the student's specialisation and course. Scholarship facilities are available and mails are sent out during the year. Student's can apply depending on the eligibility requirements.

Life at SID

Around 8 lakhs fees is gone for one year including the hostel charges and food.A lot of expenses are followed by the course materials as fashion design requires fabrics and construction tools. I feel the hostel fees is a lot.

The flow of creativity starts at symbiosis

The college fee structure is based on different courses we take. The stationary is not included in the fee so things are provided but other things we have to buy. There are scholarships provided for students from Assam, Manipur and cities or villages near these.

The best detailed information possible in all ways.

The yearly fees for any of the B.des programme at SID is 5LPA and it doesn't increase with time instead sometimes it decreases by thousand rupees and the fees is inclusive of all no extra charge for anything. There are scholarships but after 1st SEM depending on your attendance and CGPA.

Decent-ish.

They give fee payment support for 1-2 students based on your performance and interaction with faculty. You have to apply for it. The packages in placements are pretty decent, but they mostly bring in corporations that require in-house designers rather than design studios. The fees are average for a design school in India. Not too high, or low.
