Design is not just about the way things look, it is also about the way they work. Design creates value and contributes to the competitiveness, prosperity, and well-being of a nation. India is poised for growth in almost all the fields and it is increasingly expected to compete globally in delivery of goods and services as per international standards. With a view to respond to this need through education, training, and research, World University of Design (WUD) has been established to accelerate the take-up of design in industrial and innovation activities at regional and national level.

No one is passed out from it, so there is no placement scenario at the moment. But in nearby futures companies will be coming in our college for sure.The best part of the college is faculty. They are very helpful and friendly. We enjoy a lot while learning by them. They even participate with us in sports, competitions, events etc. They inspire and motivate us a lot.”
