I choosed this course because I had an intrusion towards the design field. There are girls to boy ratio of 5:1. The faculty is very good. The teaching method is very good. They teach in the perfect way. Through zoom meeting we even saw the real raw materials towards design which won't be possible in offline mode. The teachers are well qualified even done courses from abroad. The exams are a little tough. Especially the CAT test which is a drawing test where it judges on the basis of creative thinking.
