Course Curriculum Overview
The first year is mostly to sharpen your skills and learn the fundamentals of design where you explore working with different materials. The specialisation you've chosen starts from second year.There are one to two faculties for each subject and there are around four subjects. Most of the faculties are graduates from renowned colleges. There are mid-semester exams where you get a task you've to complete and submit during class. Then there's the semester and term end exams where internal and external jury takes place respectively.
Placement Experience
We will only know about the campus placements and packages offered this year as this is the first time a batch is graduating from this campus. The average package as we've heard is 8 lakhs per annum. The Pune campus is older and it's said to have good placements as well so the same is expected here as well.
Fees and Financial Aid
The academic fees come up to four lakhs every year. Students who attained admission under the merit list receive a 25% scholarship every semester. Domicile scholarship is also available for eligible students.
Campus Life
The infrastructure at the institute has to be one of the best you could find in India. As the campus is the latest among all the symbiosis institutes, annual fests haven't been established yet. In the design division, we've dress up days where we'd be given a particular theme to dress by on random days of the week, and also fairs are conducted now and then where students put up various stalls from food n drinks to art works or other handmade items they wish to sell. Among extra curricular activities there are clubs run by senior students including music, photography, movie clubs etc. in which you can join if interested. The uni also provides opportunities to excel in sports and a well equipped gymnasium is also open for students.
Admission
I had applied for the course through the online portal and soon after we were asked to appear for a portfolio and task submission and later a personal interview where these were reviewed. We were given three days to prepare after we received details of the task through email which focused on testing your problem-solving and model-making skills. The results came later on through email.
