What is the difference between the B-Des programme at IIT-Bombay and the B-Des programme at IIT-Guwahati?

I am a first-year BDes student at IIT Bombay. Design is one of the fastest-growing departments of our institution. My seniors achieved 71% placements in 2023. Top companies like Microsoft, Samsung R&D, Flipkart, Uber etc. offered campus placements to B.Des students in the previous year. Here is a comparison table for IIT Bombay BDes vs IIT Guwahati BDes: Parameters IIT Bombay B-Des IIT Guwahati B-Des NIRF 2023 Ranking #4 (Overall) #9 (Overall) Tuition Fee INR 1 Lakh per semester (Nil for SC/ST/PwD students) For more details- https://www.iitb.ac.in/newacadhome/fee_structure_2024_UG_New_EntrantsAutumn.pdf INR 1 Lakh per semester (Nil for SC/ST/PwD students) For more details- https://www.iitg.ac.in/acad/admission/imp_info/fee.php B.Des Curriculum Applied Science, semiotics, communication theories, visual studies, etc. Form Studies, Representation Techniques, Ergonomics, Typography, etc. Placement Percentage 71% 74% Average Package INR 18 LPA INR 20.59 LPA Top Recruiters Microsoft, Samsung R&D, Flipkart, Uber etc. Sprinklr, Ola, Various UI/UX roles, etc. As evident from the above statistics, the B.Des programs at IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati are equally good. But IIT Bombay is located in one of the major Indian cities. The advantage of opting for B.Des programme at IIT Bombay is that you’ll get much better off campus opportunities. Moreover, Bombay is closer to other important cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, etc. Thus, I would recommend you join the B.Des program at IIT Bombay.

Which is better for pursuing a B.Des - the IIT in Bombay or NIFT?

For Fashion Design or Apparel Design, NIFT is the best institute in the country. If you aspire to become a designer or stylist, then choose NIFT. It offers many design specializations such as Fashion, Accessories, Textile, Leather, Knitwear, etc. For Visual Communication and Product Design, IIT Bombay will be better. IITB basically offers Graphic Design, but it has more importance due to the IIT tag.
