Ecole's Internship opportunities

I first found out about Ecole intuit lab through my father, who was invited to judge one of their juries. He was very impressed not only by what was being taught there but also by the quality of their student's work. I looked into their course, as well as their website and social media and instantly knew that I wanted to study there as they offered exchange programmes in France. I am now in my final year, almost about to graduate and I have learnt so much these past 4 years. Not only have I become a better designer, but also a better communicator. I applied to Ecole, through their website. It was a very simple and easy application process. They usually conduct their entrance test in person at campus, but since I was living in Delhi at the time, they let me give the creative intelligence test online. They also interviewed me when they came to Delhi for an event.

The professors at Ecole are actually working professionals in the design industry, through them we get to know ins and outs of the industry, as well as knowledge and advice on how to navigate through this world. The professors at Ecole are extremely skilled and knowledgeable, they know what's going in the industry and give us assignments that are fresh, current, and give us the freedom to explore our creativity. The faculty and teacher's are also very approachable and you feel comfortable going to them for any help you require. The course is very well structured and gives you in-depth knowledge on art, design as well as entrepreneurship.

Ecole offers internships with agencies like Thought Over Design, Starting Monday, Umbrella Design and many more. I interned at GWD KIDS, a children's home décor company in Mumbai for 4 months. During my internship, I worked on creating a line of products with different themes, I designed wallpaper, wall decals, posters as well as flash cards.

Students are expected to do a 1-2 month Internship after 2nd year and a 4-6 month internship during the 4th year. Ecole has an event called Design next which allows students and design agencies to interact .Design agencies look through our work and select students for an interview and placements. This is how I got my internship with GWD KIDS. Most students get internships and jobs through Ecole.

The fees for école is 6 Lakhs per annum, I am not aware if there are any scholarships available at the moment. There hasn't been a fees hike as long as I've been involved with Ecole Intuit Lab, Mumbai.

The social life at campus is great. Ecole conducts many events and workshops with well renowned designers from all over the world, this gives students a lot of exposure and a chance to learn from some of the greats. The library is a calm space with many books on art and design. There are also student groups like the STU CLUB that are responsible for engaging the students and conducting fun field trips and activities.

There was a Creative Intelligence test conducted, which was more like a quiz to get to know their prospective students. They had questions like what are your favorite art styles, designers, movies. The creative intelligence test also came with a small drawing test to assess our skills. There is also a personal interview conducted by the faculty where you show 5-6 of your key pieces from your portfolio.
