Remarks :
The admission process was simple, you go through the website, you can choose multiple courses. Once the results are out, you choose which course you want to go with. I would suggest brushing up your skills before the entrance test, not to take it lightly, isn't as easy as the rest of the colleges that at least I applied to. There was no portfolio review or interview because it was online, so the test was the only way to score a seat. The application form, fees, and all are on the website itself, everything you need, the faculty profiles, the courses, academic calendar, about the campus, amenities, and the student housing.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I'm still in my first year so we don't have specializations this year. In the first year, there are 4 cycles in 2 semesters. We also have 2 workshops in which we all learn a new skill which can be crochet, wood carving, lino printing, etc. Each cycle our classes change so we get to work with different students which is great because we often get a lot of inspiration from seeing others' work. As for the faculty, it's made sure that we always get a facilitator (professor) we haven't gotten before. The class size is 16-25 so the facilitator makes sure that the course helps each student. For example, if there are readings we get them according to our interests which also goes with the course. The faculty members have very different teaching styles, some choose to keep chocolates and cookies and some choose harsh and yet constructive criticism to help you reach your full potential. They're all very approachable & always there when you need help, even the deans. We also have a 1-month interim.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
As far as I know, Srishti doesn't provide any scholarships. The fee structure is available on the website. The fees include tuition, student and co-curricular activities, software, insurance, study tours.
Campus Life :
Due to covid till now I've only attended MUJO which was organized by Srishti students, it had stalls which sold things made by the students like crochet stuff, tye-dye, stickers and illustrations, badges, etc., live performances by the members of Srishti drama and dance clubs and other students as well. I haven't had a chance to visit the library myself but I've heard it's big and on the new campus, even bigger. For sports, we have the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence (CSE). We have this twice a week, we can choose any sport we want, be it football, tennis, cricket, yoga, basketball, etc. For extracurricular, we also have language and music classes. Sports/ music/ language also holds 2 credits so it's not an option. The campus life is truly amazing even though we haven't had the full experience because of covid. The interaction with facilitators and students is amazing, the work environment, some of the classrooms don't even have doors.
Other Applied Colleges
Nirma University | Industrial Design
Mainly because the design course is still new, the course options were also limited.
Anant National University | B.Des Interior Design
I had better options.
ISDI | B.Des Interior Design
I don't know if shallow is the right word but yes the whole college felt a little shallow.
