Preferred Institutions for M.Des



Courses and preferred Institutions after CEED exam


Before going through the preferred institutions providing M.Des and Ph.D in various design fields, let me remind you that qualifying in CEED exam doesn't guarantee you for admission in any of the below institution as well as programme. After cracking CEED, you are required to go through the preferred institution website and apply to respective programme. You can even apply for multiple courses.

Short-listed candidates with valid CEED score will be called for the departmental written test (Design Aptitude Test, Studio Tests etc) followed by interviews conducted by the institutions, which usually happens yearly anywhere between March and June, as part of M.Des admission. Every institution has their own style of tests and interviews. CEED score (Part B) as well as marks obtained in written test and interviews are considered for final admission. CEED score is valid for two years.

 A. List of various Design streams


    Following are very few design streams (for M.Des) that you can opt after clearing through CEED :
  • Product Design
  • Industrial Design
  • Visual Communication
  • Animation
  • Mobility and Vehicle Design
  • Interaction Design
Othe MDes courses - Fashion, Textile, Retail, Apparel, UI/UX etc.

You may check the descriptions of some design streams here (LINK)

      Hi Amol,
      As per my view, IIT IDC is better, in fact I prefer IDC only, because I hope NID is best for students totally good at artistic skills and IDC is a mix of tech and design. But anyway please note that NID is one of the best institutions even in the world for creative minded people. What do u think ?

      Hi Nainika and Vaibhavi,

      Unfortunately I don't know much about interview pattern (because I never faced design interview anytime before), but the following topics/tips might help you

      1. First of all you should be in a position to clearly communicate/explain your passion for design. Yes, it's true that interview panel firstly check your interest for that stream or overall design. So, its advisable to make some clear lists of following :
      a. Your interest rate
      b. Why you are opting design as career ?
      c. Is that suited for you ? (by explaining your previous design works)
      d. What you can contribute as a designer ?
      e. Any of your future plans

      2. Major part of the questions were expected from your own portfolio. So, it's better if you prepare well on "HOW TO EXPRESS YOUR PORTFOLIO" prepare a list of things to be covered in your explanation and revise the same many times. Anyway your portfolio itself should explain everything !
      3. Next; they might be checking your design ability, so like you prepared for CEED, please do the same preparation (an overview) of the topics, I also expect some General awareness questions. I even heard that they will ask some simple aptitude questions
      4. You should be good at communication and friendly behaviour while at interview.
      5. They may give a design question (or) creative exercise (or) any story writing , so be prepared for it.
      6. You are also advised to get prepared for some hands-on exercises.
      5. Other than the above, please prepare just like you prepare for any other interviews (like software selection) like explanation about yourself, your passions/interests, aims, strengths and so on.

      Finally I would like you to make an overview of
      1. Color patterns, know about famous designs and designers
      2. Sketching (esp. making of strips, stick figures)
      3. Short and quick story making as well as writing
      4. A list of things to be explained.
      5. Most Importantly practice before a mirror by giving all explanations that you prepared, that will definitely help you build your communication and confidence level.

      These are just my views. Hope this helped you two.

      All the best :)

      It depends on your score. I prefer IITB IDC Animation.
      But anyway I hope, for those who wants to explore career abroad - NID Animation can be a better option. For career as animator in India, IITB can be preferred. I need to confirm that anyway ! Please check from your end too.

      Hi Anagh,

      Although IDC is good for Industrial Design, you can see not all IIT's support Animation. So the left option is NID. Animation has very good future (especially for Indian animators) both in India and abroad, so it's not a bad idea to opt AD. Both IDC and NID are good for Animation and if you are particularly interested towards technical point of Animation, I think you can prefer IDC, I can also say you can prefer any design stream from IDC.

    Are the others good?

    1. Bhanu Chander V5 April 2014 at 18:08

      Hi Mitali,

      Since you have already missed IDC and NID, You are left with three options

      1. Choosing most similar design streams like Industrial design or even Product design. Industrial design is more or less equivalent to IXD except for some minor difference. Even PD caters the needs of both IXD or ID. So, if you can compromise, then try to get these courses from any other IIT's, preferably IITD and IISC.

      2. Waiting one more year to give one more try ! I would recommend this only if you are say working or if you are capable of sparing some more months. I had a reason to say this, remember being a designer means you need to have lots of passion towards that stream and without passion, there won't be good future. So, if you are particularly passionate about IXD and if you have time, better to watch for next exam.

      3. Finally, Private institutes matters. I never recommended private institutes to anybody till now. I feel that getting graduation from IIT's or even NID have more value. In fact it would cost more in private institutes. If you can afford for the expenses and compromise being away from IIT, then you may definitely try for some colleges like MIT and even DJ institute. I don't have knowledge about the career prospects of these institutes. If found I will share here.

      One more thing Bhasin, I used to say that design capabilities are obtained right from the childhood. It's definitely true, but it's also true that one can develop design skills in the middle. Even I started developing this recently. So, if you are confident, then you may go for Visual communications or any other design streams also. After all all design streams are related to aesthetics/ergonomics ! So, choice is yours unwrap your diverse talent and choose alternatives. If you have missed IXD that's not an issue, check your interests in other streams also. You will have bright future.

      Hope this help you answer your other question regarding VC also.
      All the best :)

    1. Bhanu Chander V27 May 2014 at 12:39

      Hi Darshan,

      Hmm, How can I put ? I think the difference is more or less like B.Tech and B.E !
      If you are an engineering student, then you should've understood by now. Both B.Tech and B.E are same but just with the degree. Similarly, I hope both PGDPD and M.Des are more or less same, anyway both are Post graduate program's !

      Design PG from IIT's and some other institutes were named as M.Des while NID termed the PG program as 'PGDPD' and YES those having PG diploma in Design can further opt for Ph.D in IIT's also.

      Hope you got the answers :)

      UPES is definitely a good option if you couldn't get into IIT's or NID, you might also look for IIITDM and some private (If the options are not available for u) institutes like Pearl, MIT Pune etc, although I'm not much sure about Maeer's MIT.

    But anyways, I'm looking forward top prepare for it. But What should be my motivation to appear for the exam. How do i know that this is my field, or that i have an aptitude for design. What questions should i ask myself before plunging deep into it.

    Hello Bhanu Sir !!!
    First of all Thank you so much for all your helpful support here, I am sure a lot of students are getting the advantages of your blogs.
    My query is that unfortunately I could not make it to NID this year for MDes, however, I have got selected in two private colleges, DYPDC Pune and UPES Dehradun. But I am confused now about which college to opt between these two. My passion is Automobile Design. So, please help me on this, I would really appreciate or suggestions.

    Thank You,
    Ricky Singh

      My preference will be DYPDC, although the fees are high but still it's specific and good for auto mobile design. UPES design is also a good choice but for me it's a second option.

      Ya Sir !!!
      Fees is my only concern, anyways will go for DYPDC only as it is specifically dedicated to Automobile Design. Moreover, one more suggestion I need from you sir, I am also writing the MIT Pune's exam for MDes, which will be held in the month of April. So, if I ask you between DYPDC and MIT Pune, which one would be the better option..?

      Thank You in advance Sir.

      I mostly heard gud reviews about MIT, but not much sure about this specific stream (Transportation & Mobility). Do one thing, compare the placements percentage and the companies offering openings every year in all the three institutes. That itself should give you idea on which one to choose. If possible check their syllabus structure too.

    Hello Bhanu Sir,
    I qualified in my CEED 2016, thanks to your blog.
    I wanted to apply for interaction design. I was wondering after IDC iit kanpur and IIT guwahati offers you an overall masters course and not separate courses like IDC. So where do these two stand when compared to IDC in terms of design.?

      They are good to be considered. Although most prefer IDC (may be due to hype or placements) but still IIT Kanpur ie equally good so is IIT Guwahati. I came to know that in 2014, a candidate with AIR 2 took IITG instead of IIT B. So, you should now know their importance. Just look into the course structure and see which suits you.

      I think u won't be able to get in IISC. Go for IIT's other than IITB etc, esp. for that rank I think your chances for IIITDM and IIIT Hyd might be high. Anyway chk individual insti cutoff for further selection. Mine is just a review based iiin previous years selections.

      Do you think I have a small chance of getting into an IIT.
      Or am I only able to get into an IIIT.


      I would like to inform you that you are the only source for my dreams in a designing career. hope to get a reply soon because I have not applied to any institute and the time is short.

      I already gave u the clue in the above comment. I'm not pretty sure about IIT selection, but you might get chances in IIITDM and others. Like I said above, plz check individual insti cutoff and apply accordingly if ur rank is accepted by them. Check IIT G too!

    1. Bhanu Chander V21 December 2016 at 12:04

      Not really sure,
      but first option should be IIT's, IISC followed by IITDM/UPES. If you miss them, then yes among the available private institutes, you can check for Srishti, MIT, Symbiosis and even Raffle's can be good option. Better get reviews from prospect students.

    Also, since I am a final year Architecture student will it be okay to add small parts of projects related to my ug field in my portfolio? And during the interview I have even heard that they ask about technical stuffs.It will be highly helpful if you could kindly explain about it..

    1. Bhanu Chander V14 March 2017 at 20:31

      Ya, you can include small part just like u planned. Technical stuff in their view (whoever suggested you) might be related to the working or operation of say a product if you're applying to product design, like the mechanism involved etc. It might not be that deeper but may be a basic observation that they would test upon you. I don't see any specific matl or webpage for that. It should be based on your observation and little of logical thinking of the way you answer the technical stuff (say the mechanism) to them. So, apart from ur portfolio and studio test prep works, do observe some daily used products/objects working (if for PD) and similar to other design if applicable, like for another instance, say the frame to frame transaction tools/process o=in case of anim design.

      Thing is you won't get an interview call unless you don't apply to their institute. You've to apply to individual institute.

      Go throught the institute websites and check the cutoff's that they ask. If ur rank/score is eligible for applying, then you can apply for them and if they shortlist, you will get an interview call.

      Let me tell u briefly about the basic diff between iisc cpdm and rest IIT's

      "MDes from IISC is more of industry oriented and stuff like design through technical/engg. is included in the course content, it’s more of engineering way, but mdes from IIT Bombay has more emphasis towards design and comparatively less technical oriented. You can check course content in individual websites and compare the subjects that they are delivering for more insight."

      Now that I've given short diff, and assuming that you have good product design cum tech skills (since u cracked iisc), let me list out based on which person like me would follow
      1. IISC
      2. IITK
      3. IITG
      4. IITD
      This is how I choose. It's upto you though! all the best and yes congrats :)

    Hello Bhanu sir :) I have a doubt regarding CEED Exam. I wanted to know whether its mandatory to opt for the question of same domain, which I want to apply for MDes? For example, if I opt for an Interaction Design question of Part B (the question that carries 50 marks alone) and after qualifying CEED, if I want to apply for Visual Communication, then will that affect? and if yes, then how?

      this is always a doubt to most of the aspirants.

      Let me tell, it's not mandatory to attempt stream specific ques unless you're really and confident of attaining more marks attempting that ques. If in case you feel the stream specific ques is time consuming, or even tough or difficult to attempt because of having less ideas on that, then going with the idea of 'attempt only stream specific' then you might end up getting less score.
      Remember
      1. First thing is clearing the exam with high score is imp.
      2. Not only matters stream concern.

      which one is better -
      1. getting high score by attempting the ques which would fetch u gud score not bothering about the stream and the ques of which u felt easy, having idea on that, and not much time consuming
      2. getting less score by attempting stream specific ques.
      In the later case, if by chance the attempt didn't went well, then u might end up choosing ur desired stream but in not-targeted institutes.

      In the first case, if u got good score, then during the interviews at the target institutes, u can showcase ur interest in the stream u wished to take. You can convince them by way of portfolio and telling them verbally, stating ur interest. I think that is the best way.

      In fact CEED is a common entrance and if u have observed prev papers, u should have observed that not all stream ques are covered every year. Does the admissions for the given stream specific ques occurs ? hope this makes sense. So, prepare in general, though u can give much attention to ur desired stream but don't neglect other streams. For safer side, at least u shld be ready to answer st least two streams, in particular Product design, the second can be UI or even VC/animation frames.

      Hope this makes sense.
