The college's enrollment process and placement percentage is quite impressive, it was also due to word of mouth. Unlike other colleges this one had a rigourous and all rounded enrollment process with a three step system. And the faculty I interacted with also impressed me with their command on the subjects.

In symbiosis institute of design - the courses I feel are the best are fashion and graphic . Everything else is a little too expensive for the fees I think. The faculty is outstanding especially in graphic design but it is quite disappointing that digital tools aren’t provided by them considering the amount of fees we pay . The course structure is just right and it is not very hectic like other design colleges . The campus infrastructure isn’t that great as they don’t have much to offer but the auditorium and computer labs are good .

The 12th % cut off is 75% and it does not matter even if you’re lower than that. Your SEED test score matters which is the first stage of your admission process. If you get a valid score you have a portfolio review and personal interview. You’ll have to showcase your artwork and anything related to your field of study and present that in the interview. They’ll ask a few basic general knowledge questions. You’ll also get a portfolio task (eg: make a model that can be displayed on the nmacc entrance) which you’ll have to present on the interview as well.
