Design at Department of Design at IIT Guwahati

Inter Disciplinary Design school , Had good faculty. Course structure was great. The campus was also really good. The option for student to explore any domain of design and then specialize based on their preference when doing projects.

good course structure, mostly oriented towards UI/UX, but a few other domain profs are also there. Teaching method is very free, since it is a design school. No exams after 2nd semester. Most evaluation is continuous and through jury

Campus placement is offered, even internships are offered within the 1st semester. Almost all of the placement and internship tasks are handled by the students itself hence they have a tendency to make sure maximum placement happens in their respective class, which is good. Design also has highest placement in the college. Mostly UI/UX companies come , for Visual designers , user experience design, and a few maybe 2-3 industrial design oriented companies sometimes come for placement season for design departments.

Fees is standard 2.5 lakh for general category, i am not sure though. Stipend of 12400 was awarded to all Masters students. Although new regulation suggests they will stop the stipend soon. Job is mostly in UI/UX domain , a few industrial design companies also visit for recruitment.

Great campus , very peaceful. Located away from city hence most stuff is available in campus itself. Has a great library, great extra curricular activities, multiple clubs for robotics , ai and machine learning , student racing team etc

Only hostel is the option as the campus is situated far from city. Men's hostels are all single rooms , while of the 3 Women's hostel, one is double sharing. Hostel food was alright , there was an option to subscribe to mess of any choice hence if food was bad at one mess , they can go have food from another mess. Mess is privately operated and in contact basis so each mess had separate menu.
