Manasi Doshi's Review On École Intuit.Lab - French Institute Of Design, Digital & Strategy, Mumbai

In Mumbai, not many design schools offer post-graduation in visual communication in a year and a half. It is a fast-paced course, of international standards. Their method of teaching is modern and professional. The highlight of the course is the opportunity to attend international workshops. The faculty and mentors are industry experts from different streams of design and they share their knowledge as they guide the students through projects. Personally, the course has helped me build a solution-oriented perspective to designing and it has also worked on my personality as an upcoming professional. The admission process involved an aptitude test and an interview. It was much of an impromptu test than something that has to be studied for. I will definitely recommend this college to design enthusiasts looking to study in Mumbai.

The course curriculum, though fast-paced, is very well designed for anyone who wants to build a future in design. As the course doesn't need you to mandatorily have graduation in design, it teaches everything an upcoming designer would need in the future. The faculty panel has industry experts. They plan projects well enough for students to build on their expertise and have a strong portfolio to showcase at the end. There are no exams as such, but the semester ends have project weeks and portfolio jury. Grading happens for every project done.

Yes, they do offer internship opportunities off-campus. Many reputed companies, design houses, and agencies have collaborated with Ecole Intuit Lab for internships. They provide good exposure to newly graduated students, to start their professional life off with.

The fee is 678500 which is a good amount. However I haven't come across any scholarship, financial assistance, or campus jobs being offered, it being an international institute. It is better to enquire about financial assistance in person

The college infrastructure is great, serves the purpose. Classrooms are spacious, centrally air-conditioned with projectors and the best teaching devices. The highlight is the corridor and the walls of the classroom that are constantly updated with the best of students' work. It helps students stay inspired and have their creative juices flowing. There is also space where students can sit and socialize between breaks, play table tennis, and a canteen. serves great food!

Aptitude test

Yes, there was an aptitude test and personal interview for admission. The aptitude test was impromptu and lasted about 3 hours.. The questions were on the history of art, observation skills, basic logic, and creativity. It was followed by an interview with one of the mentors and the dean.
