Most B.Des programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask NSUT for the current semester-wise plan.
