Course Curriculum Overview

3

Design is a vastly growing field in the market. The number of students applying for design course is increasing yearly as more and more people come to know about the field. the amount of fees colleges are charging for the course is on the higher side when compared with the quality of education offered. The design course tends to take a mental, physical and financial level on students.

Fees and Financial Aid

The annual fees for the bachelor's degree in design course is approximately 5lakhs. This includes tuition fees and access to all machineries and labs present in the college campus. This does not however include cost of materials that you will require for your assignments. Those would be additional expense on the part of the student and will depend on the student's specialisation and course. Scholarship facilities are available and mails are sent out during the year. Student's can apply depending on the eligibility requirements.

Campus Life

2

Different festivals are celebrated. each department also hosts differnet events. There's a 24 hour fest called Lakshya which is held yearly and it is extremely fun to spend a whole day in college, throughout the night. The college fest is a 3 day event in january or february. The library is well equipped with books, both physical and online. There is a gym on campus and health also however the health centre is not upto mark in my opinion. Classrooms are equipped with sensex boards which is good. You can take part in sports. there's basketball, football, volleyball, badminton etc courts.

Hostel Facilities

2

Hostel fees is hefty but then you get an attached bathroom and toilet in each room. There is options for either 2 sharing or 3 sharing rooms and fees depend accordingly. You are given cupboards and shelfs to store your stuff. Food quality is not good however, people tend to order online a lot. Your hostel room experience will mainly depend on who has been assigned to you as your roomate/s. If you break curfew you may be subject to fines. there are 2 security dogs in the hostel. also swings are available in the main compound which is good.

Admission

Symbiosis is said to be the top private institute for design, and most students who don't get into the national colleges apply here. This college also is the one with the lower fees compared to all other private colleges. The admission process includes an online multiple choice assessment. On clearing that you are then subject to a pr/pi round where in you are given a task which includes 2D and 3D modelling which you have to present to your interviewers along with your portfolio. You may be subject to questioning and there is strict deadlines for completing your given task. All students from different educational backgrounds are eligible to apply for the course and entrance tests

Faculty

2

Faculty members are experienced. the quality taught is not adequate with the amount of fees we are required to pay considering all additional expenses for materials are on us. The faculty tends to overlook everything as design is hands on and students are supposed to do their assignments

Night Life

2

You are not allowed to exit the hostel after 9pm which is later than most other college hostels. You are expected to return by 10pm max if you are outside. Most students to tend to stayback in college after hours to use facilities. Students tend to hangout a lot in nearby tea stalls, pani puri stalls, and other small shops. The locality is not ideally safe for girls especially as there are a lot of people outside who tend to make you uncomfortable. There have been instances of harrasers.

NIFT has its own entrance exam which happens in February every year. I got an AIR for 42. Why I chose NIFT can't be answered very logically, I didn't want to do sheetu everyone else was doing, I can just put it that way and Nift being the best in the course I opted for it.
