 Small journey Big post ! 😅 . But I have made things easier for you with bullet summary. But you may read the whole piece if you wish. Got good percentage in 10th. Went outside of my town and messed up my 12th and entrace exam as well. Went away from engineering and closer to art and design and everything started to fall in place. Got introduced to emerging design field notably user experience and interaction design. Started self studying about design throgh articles, books,videos and courses, bootcamps. I found out really difficult to complete projects and build a professional portfolio. Somehow I managed to make a nice enough portfolio with few side projects and applied for internships. After many tries got a couple of calls and Got picked in an ecommerce company. After a month I Quit and learned few lessons. I found that online bootcamp are not enough to become a professional designer. I needed to learn from foundation and practice more. I found ...

  This is a summary of notes I took while listening to an awesome podcast named as "Styrofoam" created by IDC (IIT Bombay) students to assist other design students. Even if you read these notes, I recommend that you listen to the  original podcast series on Soundcloud  because it is a lot of fun. INTERVIEW Be genuine. It's impossible to oversize enough. This includes everything from not overstating skills and knowledge that the interviewer may inquire about to accurately describing the contribution that you make to the studio. Don't overestimate your abilities just to get by.  It's perfectly acceptable to state that you don't know. They don't ask for your specific contribution to a group effort, but they do prefer that you can identify your role, responsibility, and contribution. Never claim credit for someone else's work. It's fine to be inspired and borrow, but make sure you credit them properly. Avoid claiming that something is original when it ...

AFTER CEED Following ceed, you will be given a screening task in which you must select your desired discipline. You'll need to show top projects or work in progress in that discipline that you've worked on. Make a presentation of your work by documenting it. As soon as you receive your score and are qualified, upload the required documents, answer the questions, and complete the...

Tips before and during CEED Completely solve and evaluate the previous year's paper with solutions. Learn what to expect during the exam. Recognize where you went wrong. Display the question paper on the computer screen in order to get used to the exam environment. When it comes to part A,  don't take negative marking lightly. Only solve if you're sure.  Don't just go with the fi...

 Here is the highlight of the conversation between Sanjay Reddy, founder of DesignExStudio, and Prasanna Gadkari, alumini of IISC, Bangalore. If you learn design from an institute, it will help to in your resume as well as y ou will learn the scientific techniques required to stay in the design field. IIT Bombay is superior in terms of branding. Look through the old question papers and try to find solutions. Three months is the ideal amount of time to study and prepare. Set aside a few hours each day to practice aptitude as much as possible. Develop your ability to think and express yourself on paper. If you prepare for ceed, you are already ready for nid. Study aptitude and try to get half or more correct answers in Part A. Rapid sketching is also very important - if you don't get into IITs or NIDs on the first try, try again if you have the time to prepare. If you are unable to do so, look for the curriculum and contact the alumini of the private institut...
