Ellen College UG-DID FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between the 1-year Diploma in Interior Design (DID), the 3-year Graduate Diploma in Interior Designing (UG-DID), and the 4-year B.Des. Interior Design at Ellen College of Design?
Ans. Ellen College of Design offers three levels of interior design programs. The 1-year Diploma in Interior Design (DID) is a short-term foundational program covering the basics of space planning, materials, and CAD - ideal for students who want a quick entry into the field. The 3-year Graduate Diploma in Interior Designing (UG-DID) is a more comprehensive program that covers both residential and commercial interior design in depth, including space planning, materials, lighting, furniture, and portfolio development - suitable for students who want a thorough grounding without committing to a full degree. The 4-year B.Des. Interior Design is the most comprehensive program, covering advanced design thinking, conceptual development, and specialized techniques, and is best suited for students aiming for senior design roles or postgraduate studies.
Ques. Is the Graduate Diploma in Interior Designing at Ellen College of Design equivalent to a degree?

However, the Graduate Diploma is widely recognized in the industry and is sufficient for entry-level and mid-level interior design roles.
