Hope this helps!!

Hi Ramesh!

The world is of all-rounders. While it is a good thing to look for specialisations, most of the success stories of designers have witnessed them switching and acing fortes. I'd strongly recommend you to look for B.Des programme in Interdisciplinary Design, where you will be able to concentrate on various aspects of design, rather than restricting to just one specialisation. 

B.Des in Interdisciplinary Design at JK Lakshmipat University is one programme, led by A. Balasubramaniam, one of the most prominent designers of India.

JK Lakshmipat University is the philanthropic initiative of the 125-year-old JK Organisation. You can go through their information at www.jklu.edu.in and apply for their entrance exam.

dear ramesh

you can go through vit official website or career360 site for knowing more information about fee , college details etc stay tuned for more queries sorry for your late reply thank you

Yep, there are other things to consider, which are not specifically related to product design, but to M.Des in these institutions, which might be factors worth considering.

One is that the fees at NID are very high compared to those at IITB. It looks like NID being autonomous, has to generate its own revenue, and one way of doing it is to jack up the fees. Second, there is no hostel accommodation for M.Des students at Ahmedabad campus. Third, there's no concept of teaching assistantship at NID, whereas the same is available at all IITs. Fourth, the M.Des course duration at NID is 2.5 years vs. 2 years at IITs. Fifth, the IITs, being primarily tech institutes, have vast tech resources in the same campus. For example, I notice that the Mechanical Engineering department is adjacent to IDC, IITB. That's important from an industrial design perspective.

UCEED is the entrance exam if you wish to pursue design. Check details here https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/uceed. The next step would be CEED which is the PG entrance exam (https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/ceed). However, you can write CEED even if you are an engineer. Either way is fine to pursue specialization in product design.
