Department of Interior Design

HOD's Desk

Interior Design is a constantly evolving and ever-changing field that requires a combination of many traits. Over the last decade, the popularity of interior design as a profession has increased manifold. It would not be wrong to say that in the coming times, the built-up environment and infrastructure will shape economies and societies, making designers the harbingers. The student of Interior Design is in the process of acquiring the vocabulary, just as a child learns to talk, then to write. Therefore, it becomes imperative for the institutes to envisage and evaluate the needs of these budding designers, to instil in them creativity, innovation and analytical qualities which would eventually equip them to efficiently transform their vision and imagination to physical existence on the earth. As educators, we constantly strive to produce industry ready professionals who are complex problem solvers with their rationality and technical know-how.
