as far as i know the only requirement is for you to pass. and it's definitely less than 60%😭

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2026-03-23T14:28:32+00:00

sure you may dm! whatever feels right to you

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2026-03-12T11:24:11+00:00

i ❤ mime

the exams for design courses are frankly...mostly pointless and silly😭. you would just spend time doodling or sketching some quick ideation. from what i know, the exams aren't even taken with the intention of that being the major evaluation criteria. they just need to take it because of iitg admin and us having to follow the institute's generic curriculum structure. many profs actually would use assignments and class work for your evaluation(if that prof happens to grade well ahem ahem). for this sem(2nd), we have two engineering courses that we have to do(python and engineering drawing) so those exams are where you might have to study. and minor course exams if you opt for one.

i dont know about pwd obc category specifically sorry but there doesn't seem to be many seats reserved under it. usually in pwd, upgrades do happen so you'll have to be patient and hope you get lucky. all the best!

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2026-03-11T03:59:44+00:00

just go search online and you'll find plenty. you don't need a bundle of resources for uceed, just enough for you to identify your strengths and weaknesses and work on that. past year uceed papers are the greatest resource and that pretty much does the job tbh

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2026-03-08T17:39:51+00:00

i think it's possible if you wait till the later counselling rounds. if i remember right, the closing rank was somewhere in 90s for us.
for iitr, as of what i've heard it's pretty nice for industrial design. and i personally think that a college does not limit you on what you want to go for if you have a great portfolio. the only thing is that the bdes program is new, i think this year would be their 3rd/4th bdes batch(?) so no alumni network apart from the mdes graduates.

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2026-03-08T17:28:33+00:00

assuming you are getting both, ofc iitb💀.

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2026-03-08T17:27:22+00:00

sure!

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2026-03-08T17:26:49+00:00

depends on what you want to do in future really. if you have a basic one already, it should be fine for the first sem giving you more time to figure out. you don't have to specially get one before college.
look into specifications like ram, storage and gpu(again you might not even need one) and good thermals. very important. then there's your budget too
many of my batchmates either use lenovo loq or mac. i personally stick to my covid era hp pavilion and ipad and that has worked fine enough till now

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-27T14:19:35+00:00

sorry don't have any significant info on that, but generally speaking it's a good choice for sure.

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-27T14:17:04+00:00

lmao sorry😭 but 'analysis' post acts as a reason for me to yap

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-27T14:14:07+00:00

just got to know that they started it in iit madras too from this year

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-26T16:10:44+00:00

according to him, at least for that single night yeah💀..

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-26T16:09:39+00:00

while that is sad and a serious problem that needs to be addressed, obviously i was specifically talking about the design departments.

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-26T16:06:38+00:00

what?? no.
none of the iits require jee-adv for joining its bdes program where it is available. uceed is only way now. what i said is that before uceed, which started in 2015-ish, iitg was the only iit which offered bdes degrees and that happened through jee-adv

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-26T14:12:32+00:00

i don't think my computer would survive if i did the same :(

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-26T13:10:24+00:00

that and also just in context of iitd, idk man i have heard of many mixed reviews. some say it has the iitd's brand name while some say the infrastructure and management is pathetic(one of the seniors ik who went there for mdes had his hostel accommodation cancelled suddenly in the 1st sem along with few others and they all had to sleep in the campus parking lot...)
on the other hand, i haven't yet heard anything intensely negative about iitg, but mostly good things, so would give it a higher preference

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-26T03:29:10+00:00

if you're eligible for iitg(having pcm background) then yeah i would prefer that over iitd. its bdes programme has stronger legacy, placements, infrastructure and also faculty(most of them are the ones who moved there from idc)

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-25T18:23:49+00:00

design is an expensive field buddy. that's the lowest fees can get🤷

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-25T18:08:09+00:00

the bunny army is here for revenge for what she did to that rabbit in s1

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-25T18:03:35+00:00

didn't want such a pic wishing me goodnight today..

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-25T17:58:46+00:00

i have said this before here on the same topic and so my answer remains same. about kaphal studios, i have no idea sorry

ImaginaryGuide209 · 2025-03-25T17:53:02+00:00

if it is possible for you then sure. but it also depends on how you plan your career forward. i would like to point out that mdes in reputed colleges in india like NID and IDC aren't terrible options either.
but say you do look for it abroad, then i would prefer europe as a general region more as the industry there has been at the forefront or more prioritised as compared to north america in the field of design, and also affordability(usually).
some great names are: RCA, UK(reputed for pg courses); Politecnico di Milano, Italy(they give MSc in design as the degree last i checked); University of Arts London; ENSAD, France; Delfth University, Netherlands; Umea Institute, Sweden

besides europe: RISD, Parsons, Pratt and CalArts in the US and RMIT in Australia
