The curriculum of 4 years is planned properly so as to provide students the best combination of theoretical as well as practical knowledge. Focus is given on projects that includes inputs from everywhere so as to include designing in every aspect of the student's life.

A compulsory internship is a part of the design program. The stipend for the same differs from company to company. The college provides placement opportunity by conducting recruitment drives and inviting the best players of the industry.

The fee structure for bachelor of design course is pretty expensive. Excluding the mess and accommodation charge, it costs approximately INR 150000 per semester, which totals to INR 1200000 for 4 year duration.

Various extracurricular activities are held to keep the students active throughout the course duration. NIDUS, a design shop, where students/faculty members/alumnis can showcase their talents to the outside world is established as a part of such activity.

Hostel facility is provided to students, except for the last semester. The mess charges vary and so the students are made aware of the same during the start of the semester. Equipped with all the essentials, the hostel charges INR 15000 for accommodation.

There is different age limit for different categories to be eligible to apply for this course. If you fulfill the age criteria and have qualified 10+2 examination in any stream, then you can apply for the course via the website. However, outside students have to give an entrance exam.

The faculty of the college is well learned in their respective discipline. They teach students by giving them raw and real life examples, so that the students properly understand their subject. Their enthusiasm helps the student maintain their interest in the subject.
