Thinking about a future in design? IDeA World College offers focused programs in two disciplines: Fashion Design and Interior Design. Whatever stage you're at, whether you're finishing school or already hold a degree, there's a path into IDeA World College built for you. Here's exactly how the admission process works.
IDeA World College offers four program formats across both disciplines, so you can choose the path that fits your background and goals.
| Program Format | Duration | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
| B.Des (Bachelor of Design) | 4 years | Students starting straight after school |
| Advanced Program | Varies | Students seeking focused, intensive training |
| Graduate Diploma | 1 year | Graduates looking to specialise in design |
| Postgraduate Diploma | 1 year | Degree holders seeking advanced, career focused training |
Both Fashion Design and Interior Design are available across these formats at IDeA World College. For full syllabus details, semester breakdowns, and career outcomes for each program, visit the relevant course page.
Eligibility at IDeA World College varies by program level. As a general guide, the B.Des program is open to students who have completed their 10+2 (or equivalent), while the Graduate and Postgraduate Diploma programs require a relevant Bachelor's degree. We're finalising the exact stream requirements and minimum marks with our academic team and will update this section with precise criteria shortly. Please check back or reach out directly if you need confirmation before applying.
Getting into IDeA World College follows a clear, five-step process:
The IDEA Exam, short for Intelligence Design Evaluation Assessment Exam, is how IDeA World College evaluates a Degree applicant's design aptitude, creative thinking, and problem-solving ability. It isn't meant to trip anyone up. It's designed to understand how you think, not to test memorised facts. If you'd like a sense of what to expect, we have a free sample test available, so you can walk in prepared rather than nervous.
Securing your seat at IDeA World College requires a 30% down payment at the time of admission, with the remaining fees paid according to a payment schedule confirmed by our fee collection officer. We also currently offer a ₹10,000 registration scholarship. For a complete fee breakdown by program, we're building out a dedicated Fee Structure page, so keep an eye out for that soon.
