Industrial Design is a process of designing and developing products that are manufactured through mass production techniques. The field of industrial design combines elements of engineering, ergonomics, and aesthetics to create products that are functional, visually appealing, and user-friendly. Industrial designers work with a variety of materials and technologies to create products ranging from small consumer goods, such as kitchen appliances and electronics, to large-scale products, such as automobiles and furniture. The goal of industrial design is to create products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also efficient, safe, and user-friendly, while taking into consideration factors such as production costs, market trends, and sustainability.
Candidates can pursue an Industrial Design course either at the graduation level or even at the postgraduate level.
To secure admission at the graduate level, candidates need to have cleared their 10+2 from a recognised board with minimum 50% aggregate marks. On the other hand, to be eligible for admission in postgraduate level programmes in Industrial Design, aspirants should possess bachelor’s degree in Engineering/Architecture Design/Interior Design, or equivalent.
