UID Ahmedabad is a private institute, founded in 2012. This page brings together what is on record for this course at UID Ahmedabad — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Des 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. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

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