Sikh National College is a public-private institute, founded in 1953. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Sikh National College — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

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

Here that means design thinking, drawing, materials and digital tools, built around a portfolio of studio projects. Typical first jobs: designer roles in product, fashion, communication or UX.

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