Should you pick B.Des at Alliance University?

This course suits students who want a design degree on a business university campus, with a common first year.

Pick it if:
You want to work in Bangalore after the course: the city has the product firms and design studios that hire designers, and the campus is on its edge.
You are not sure which design stream you want: the first year is a common foundation, so you pick your stream after it.
Your Class 10 and 12 marks are 75% or more: the design waiver needs those marks with a high test percentile, so apply in the first semester.
Your family can pay in parts: the fee is taken in four parts across the course, and the first part is the smallest.
Skip it if:
You want design studios hiring on campus: the recruiters who come back every year are banks, consulting and IT firms.
You are counting on the pay the ROI tile shows: that average is for the whole university, and the business school lifts it.
You want a design school with a long record: the university is known for management and law, and design is its newest school.
You need a hostel room from the first week: rooms are booked before you arrive and given first come, first served.
Counsellor's advice
If your Class 10 and 12 marks are 75% or more, take the test early and claim the waiver in the first semester. If you want studio placements, ask the design school for its own placement list before you pay.
B.Des Eligibility
Class 12 marks: 50% in any stream. 45% for SC and ST students.
Board: A Class 12 pass from any recognised board or council.
Test score: The design test of the university, ADAT, or a UCEED, NIFT or NID DAT score.
Portfolio: Your own design work, shown at the interview.
Lateral entry: A design diploma gets you the three-year route, from year 2.
B.Des Admission Process
Apply online: Fill the form on the university site and pay INR 1,000 with it.
Book a test phase: ADAT is held in phases, so pick the one that suits you.
Show your portfolio: The design school panel looks at your work and asks about it.
Sit the interview: One round, on your work and what you want to do with design.
Pay and enrol: Pay the first part of the fee by the date in the offer letter or you lose the seat.

No closing rank or score is published for this course, so the marks rule is the only hard gate. The portfolio is what the panel weighs most, so build it before you book a test phase.

In short
JAIN design charges a little more, and its B.Des batch averaged INR 5.20 LPA in 2024. If you want a design school with its own placement list, look at it; if you want one campus for design and business, take this seat.
In short
RV University costs about the same but asks for 60% in Class 12. If your Class 12 marks are between 50% and 59%, this seat is the one open to you.
In short
CMR design costs INR 6 Lakhs less for the same four years and takes the same 50% marks. If money decides, put it above this seat; if you want the longer recruiter list, stay here.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
