Deepak's Review On Symbiosis Institute Of Design - [SID], Pune

• I had applied for NID, IIT IDC, MIT ADT, BITS, KIIT and NATA as well. I got accepted in all the pvt colleges I applied to except the govt colleges(NID & UCEED). I chose SID because of it's course structure and renowned reputation. • I couldn't make it to NID because I got AIR 258 and there are only 45 seats all over India for general students and I couldn't get IIT due to the reservation system :( • To get into SID, first you need to pass the SEED entrance exam which is of 60 marks and I had scored 43. Then after passing that you have to submit your Portfolio and prepare for a PRPI task and personal interview. After that there are 3 merit lists and you'll secure a seat there if you pass all the three....Read More

I applied for (UID)-United world of design (got into it, but firstly the crowd over there is too much and too hi-fi no internships or placement till date and too expensive in all aspects and not being worthy for that expense.) (NID)- National Institute of design (didn't got into as the first round itself i didn't clear) (NIFT)- National Institute of fashion technology (got into but i was much into product design than fashion or anything) For getting into SID eligibility is 10+2 in any stream, SID conducts it's own entrance examination called (SEED) and doesn't accepts any other. There are 3 rounds of this examination everything is in online mode first round is of 60 marks for 60 mins only MCQS all related to design, critical thinking, logical reasoning and general aptitude. If got selected in 1st round so in 2nd round you have to submit your portfolio and the task which they give you through mail after that there is an interview (student friendly) all the process is very handy and easy...Read More

The admission process was fairly simple. There are 3 rounds, the SEED test for which you can apply on the website, and then a studio test and interview. You get called on-campus for the last 2 rounds if you make it past the first....Read More

The admission process was relatively straightforward and similar to the one followed by nearly all design colleges with a preliminary written test followed by task completion and a personal interview with a portfolio review. Eligibility- +2 from a recognized board with >50%. All the details regarding this process such as the forms, fees, and important dates are provided on the institute's official page....Read More

The eligibility of the course was the completion of 10th and 12th grade, with more than 50% marks. There is an entrance test called SEED, which tests aptitude and design thinking. All the registration and application process details and dates can be found on the official website. Once the merit list for the SEED exam is released, a Portfolio Review and Personal Interview round is conducted where the candidate is required to present a personal design portfolio...Read More

The application forms and minimum qualifying details are available on the SID official site. Stay tuned to this site for updates. Since I belong to the general category, I could not avail myself of any reservation benefits. I attempted the SEED exam online in February this year. The duration of the test was 1 hour. The exam process was not very difficult as we were provided with proper instructions and guidelines. After I cleared my first round of SEED, I prepared a model for the situation test which was again online and was discussed in the PRPI round along with my portfolio review and personal interview. I was very nervous before the interview but the interviewers were so friendly yet professional that helped me clear my interview confidently. The jury asked questions mainly about my situation test model, my portfolios, my aspirations as a designer, etc.Overall it was a great experience for me...Read More
