Best College for Crafts and Design.

It is the only college in India providing a platform for craft studies and diagnosis. The college is very much recommended. I did Textiles diploma and it was a huge learning experience for me plus the trips and on field experiences made me understand crafts better and also a better person in some ways.

The course provides hands-on experience, Industrial, NGO, Craft cluster exposure, Field experience and Project. The curriculum is designed strategically focusing on the basics first and later on advance techniques. Classroom design projects give us a broader way of thinking and implementing things and designing things accordingly to the need and nature.

Institute make them self-sufficient to find a void and fill it from their ability. 100% of students are placed. Salary package ranges from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 50,000 per month. We choose companies and apply according to our choice, but the college provides the list of companies.

Every festival is celebrated here with great zeal and that is the best thing to learn, unitedness among religion and culture. Our college also conducts events and conferences every year regarding crafts and design. Each and every student get involved in all activities. The students and faculty members decorate the college.

The fees for the four year program is INR 8.88 Lakh which is expensive. But the university provides all kinds of resources to fill the void. Students are awarded Certificate in Foundation Program for Design(CFPD) in the first year itself.

IICD has fully equipped workshops and studios where students are encouraged to develop concepts and experiment with different materials, processes and techniques. They realize their ideas, make models and prototypes and learn with a hands-on approach to problem solving.

I would highly recommend this college to everybody who is an art and craft lover and loves to live traditionally in modern times. I got admission based on IICD entrance exam where I scored well and was able to come 8th on the merit list.

I was fortunate enough to get experienced faculties for specific subjects. Most of them were from NID. IICD has got links with social organizations/NGO and export houses for their students to go on and experience the practical world. Noted academicians and experts have been associated with IICD for guest lectures, workshops, jury and curriculum development.
