Asfiya Fathima's Review On Bangalore School Of Design - [BSD], Bangalore

BSD is one of the top 20 design colleges in Bangalore. Its state of the art campus and amenities are exceptional. Also it provides great experience and good industry exposure to its students. It also helps us with building our resumes and prepares us for future jobs and internships.

The interior design curriculum is spread over 6 semesters in 3 years. The curriculum involves the basic fundamentals of designing, architecture and construction. The course aims at providing a complete knowledge of acoustics of interior design.

Our college has an excellent placement cell. We do not have internships at the college but after our 4th semester the college helps us land internships that provide us necessary experience for our job applications. Various architecture and design firms visit our college for recruitment.

The fees for each year of the course is Rs 1,00,000 which makes the total fees for the 3 year course Rs 3,00,000. The fee structure is expensive but when when you take in account the amenities and the benefits gained from the college it is justified.

Our college provides internship to its students on two basis; either on academic excellence of the student and/or on the basis of creative ability- for which the student has to submit a portfolio based on which they will be granted a scholarship.

Our college has a number of extracurricular activities that the students can engage in. Ever year we have an annual fest apart from all the cultural and social events. We have nice structured labs and good sports in our college. The gender ratio is almost equal and the campus environment is peaceful and interaction positive.

I had submitted an online application along with scanned certificates that were necessary. After which I had to write a Design Aptitude test conducted by the college. I had scored more than 60% and hence I was called for an interview. I got selected in the interview and had to pay my fees for the course.

The faculty of our college includes architects, interior designers and scholars who are extremely experienced and qualified. They provide us the necessary practical knowledge and help us with our projects by being very supportive.
