The fees excluding hostel is around ?19.4 lakh for the entire four-year course for Indian students .

The biggest annual festival is called fundamentals, it is organised and carried out by Industrial design students, there are multiple events throughout the year too, all run by students. There are multiple clubs and groups available with a mental health support group included. Great campus and healthy student competition.

The hostel is questionable. It is certainly not worth the amount of money paid. No AC, food isn't great, there have been complaints of rats. It is okay for the first year so that students get a good idea of college life and socialising, it is also very strict in terms of timing and no alcohol or smoking is allowed. No electronic appliances are allowed either. I live in a PG in Rajiv Nagar South which is cheaper and much better than the hostel. It is called the orchid girls hostel Rajiv Nagar South.

This college was one of the few colleges that had the exact course I wanted, with good placement opportunities and connections. It's also reputed in the design and law field. The website was well informed and the most striking part was their intake process. It is a three tiered system with a general test being the first, which has questions about general knowledge, design, logical reasoning and basic math, science, english etc. Once you clear the first phase, you move on to the next phase, that is the prpi test. They give you a certain task which you must perform in a certain time window and submit. In my case, I was given a music clip and was told to imagine a character and make a physical model according to the audio. Once you pass that, you move on to the interview and that's it!

Minimum of 1 core faculty/course incharge and 1 visiting faculty for each course. Marks are giving according to assignments, they have more weightage. Juries for external grading. Certain courses have tests.

The college does not operate at night, everything closes by 8. The nightlife around college is great and active though. There are multiple eateries, cafes and clubs near college. Things start starting down by 11:00 p.m. tho and clubs do not allow anybody under the age of 21 and even 25 sometimes. The locality is fairly safe but they have been instances of following and harassment towards women recently. As long as you are with people and in well lit areas, you're good to go. You can often see College kids in comfortable clothing roaming around near the eateries and chai shops from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. College is from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. typically and could stretch to 5 p.m. sometimes. And also late night 10- 10:30 pm sometimes during events.
