Admission: The teachers at IIAD are mostly NIFT and NID graduates with lots of industry experience. They teach in a practical way that makes learning fun. Coming from the South, I felt really welcome here. The interactive learning style made it feel like home. The course focuses on project-based learning for Design, not just theory and lectures. This helps us become independent and figure out our own paths without relying too much on teachers.
Placement: The job placements for our course aren't great. Salaries ranged from 20k to 35k a month. We got offers for roles like fashion designer, buyer, photographer, and more. Our course had salaries from 20k to 1 lakh a month. Everyone landed internships at cool places like Tarun Tahiliani and Mantra by Shalini James.
Campus: The college has a 1GB Wi-fi limit every day. The library is awesome for design books, and the librarian always knows the latest stuff. I don't stay in the hostel, but the canteen serves tasty food. There's a student support cell with medical help and a first aid kit. And we're close to Apollo hospital, which is great.

Placement: All of us students find jobs easily through our college. Companies like KB fashions, Technopack, Burberry, Calvin Klein, hire from our college.

Admission: The teachers at our college are really helpful, and you can check out their qualifications on the website. The course curriculum here is unique compared to other colleges. It gives us a different learning experience that makes us feel prepared and confident to start working in the industry.
Placement: The college is pretty new, but the recent graduates are only 1-2 years out. So, placements aren't great yet. But, they really support us with internships and stuff. Your placement depends on how good you are.
Campus: At this college, we don't have regular classes it's all about working in studios. There's everything we need: machines, tables, projectors, chairs, canteen, hall, air-conditioners, and Wi-Fi. I've heard the hostel facilities are just okay from friends living there. If you're new to Delhi, it can be tough to adjust no matter where you stay. It's a common struggle for everyone, but we make it work.
