B.Des at DTU is still in its foundational years, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad choice. It’s actually a solid option! The key in design is that you can’t just memorize and regurgitate answers like in other fields. You need to put in real effort. Most students in the B.Des program at DTU are dedicated to making a difference, which will help change perceptions. The journey may be tough and challenging, but it helps you stand out from the crowd. Design offers you that chance, and DTU provides the additional opportunity to forge your own path rather than just following others.

When it comes to placements, remember that your portfolio and soft skills will speak volumes—often more than the institution's brand name. Think about it!

I Mean Yeah You cannot be introverted person in here , the college makes you a extrovert they teach us that to communicate with each other and breaking the ice it's good only but I don't about the introverted ones

When you are in year 3(internships or placements both) or 4(placement) then you're eligible to work in industry. Accessory design is the best department in our campus (gandhinagar) and thus highly reputated companies hire them. So there's a kind of series that is followed that companies first gives preference to DELHI and MUMBAI and then other campuses. As far as my department (fashion communication) is concerned they're mostly given opportunities in retail companies for example- a VISUAL MERCHANDISER in WESTSIDE. Last year GANDHINAGAR was number one in placements with a package of 9,00,000/- Marks or CGPAs matters at the end but a good portfolio matters alot in designing college. Right now I have just completed first year so I have this much information only regarding placements. My plans would be ofcourse to sit for placements and get hired in a good comapny. After getting enough money for my masters I shall go abroad for masters as it builds a good portfolio and even more better job

I had not applied to many colleges as the college entrance exams were overlapping with the schedule for my pre boards and practicals. So for the NIft entrance exam i had joined a coaching online to guide me through the whole process. The entrance consists of three tests which you have to give. The first one is the Creative ability test (CAT) which consists of the drawing part of it. The second one is the General Ability Test (GAT) which consists of the logical reasoning and english as well as the english comprehensions and the general knowledge test. If you are able to clear the first two exams you are qualified to give the third exam which is the Situation test in which you are provided with a question and ypu have to design as well as prototype and make a model for it. Then as for the other exams i gave which was UCEED i think i did not make it as i was not able to give enough time to it for preparation which was needed as i had other things going on not to mention how tough the exam

The fees is quite a lot considering that it is a government college. The total fees is around 12 to 15 lakhs and if you include the living expenses the figure easily crosses 20 lakh. There are schemes available for which you need to have an annual parental income of less than 8lpa

My course is FASHION COMMUNICATION which is basically all about UI/UX design, Graphic designing etc. Since childhood I've been a tech savvy kind of person. I like to explore different applications and thus this course allows me to work on application like FIGMA, ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP, etc. So nift has jury every semester and whatever work we've done so far is presented there. The panel doesn't judge us on their level rather on industry or company levels. We're taught from day one that you are not working for faculty rather consider us clients and work according to our needs. The semester consists of mid term, end term and jury assignments and i think the difficulty level varies from person to person. For me, it gets a little hectic during jury as it is the last chance for us to present something out of the box product and for that it needs high level of thinking and exploration and completing that within the given deadline becomes a task.

Placements in my college are central and any student from any campus can go to another for the purpose of applying to jobs. Not only are the placements cast in options and variety, my institute has a high success rate and students score excellent placements white easily.

The course in my opinion is very relevant as well as comprehensive. It has an overarching theme of steady improvement and no matter what department you are in it is easy to find your niche and work your way up from there.

The placements at my college to be very honest with you are not as great especially if you consider the fact that you're spending so much money in the college fees. So NIFT has a centralized placement system where it is only held in the top 5 colleges and the students from the other nifts have to go there for theirs. From what I've heard and read the placement are always pretty disappointing and bad. Many students end up not getting placed or taking up offers thag are not fair for the amount of time and energy you've put into into it. The biggest con of joining my college is infact the placement as many people don't consider it a good investment for it's bad returns.

To be honest i think my course is pretty relevant and will remain relevant for the years to come as man will never stop wearing clothes. Textile design plays a huge role in the fashion industry and will continue to do so in the future. As for the curriculum at my college it does teach me the traditional as well as the modern methods and approaches to design. Design education in india is not yet a very maintstream or well known thing but i think institutions like NIFT and NID are doing justice to it. My faculty is very strict and expect a certain level of work which if not delivered you will face the repercussions for. As for the final marking which is the jury assignment it is like doomsday for every student in my college. It is quite difficult and challenging as well as pretty time taking. All I'd say is that it's not for the weak hearted
