Prita's Review On Industrial Design Centre, Indian Institute Of Technology - [IDC], Mumbai

There are a lot of facilities available for the student's overall growth. Students are required to take up an extracurricular activity in the first year of college as a part of the curriculum. Students can also do minor courses in a department of their choice, having met certain criteria.

The course structure is well planned. However the execution is not guaranteed. It depends on the prof what he wants to teach and hence each batch will have different experience in each course. As for the exams, most of the design courses don't have exams but students are graded for assignments and projects.

I do not have experience of it, or have knowledge about it. There are semester exchange programmes. This takes place in the 4th year. Students are required to do summer internships as a part of their curriculum.

IDC is part of IIT Bombay and it has fests lile Mood Indigo which is said to be Asia's largest, techfest, abhyuday, aavhan, esummit, and other smaller events that keep happening. Hostel have their own fests.

It is on the expensive side but considering the facilities provided, it is justified. It is also already subsidized by the government. It is Rs. 1,15,000 for a semester without mess charges for a general category student

Their is a scholarship system. The students can apply for scholarship and they need to pay it back when they start earning which will in turn will be used for the education of the current students.

A lot of workshops, programs are organised throughout the year. Festivals are celebrated, there are sports events organised by different departments as well as different department trips. Students from any department can join.

The hostel is relatively new and so is pretty good as per hostel standards. The mess food is also decent. The hostel has a gym and dance room. There is also a canteen that functions from 12 noon to 3pm and 6:30 pm to 3:00 am.

The senior students are really helpful while living on campus as they have already encountered and dealt with the problems that exist for us. So it really helps if you talk to your seniors of you're stuck somewhere.

Had an entrance exam UCEED which is of 300 marks. It has 3 sections. They are mcq type questions. It is conducted in January and results come out in February- March. This is when we get to know our rank. Once you have the score card, one needs to apply on the uceed portal with the necessary documents and details. After the application is done, 3 allotment lists are released. If you get allotted a college in the first list but want a better college then you have the option to float or accept the college you got allotted. Some supplementary lists are also released in case of vacant seats

The faculty is very good and expert on their field. It depends on how much the student wans to benefit from it. Learning happens by getting feedback on your work. All the faculty is willing to help the students.
