Hello, this time Ignite is before you with some important facts regarding career choices and their admission procedures.

So, you have completed your plus two course and you are currently in the phase of determining the right course for higher studies. Have you decided what field to opt for higher studies?

Generally, the common trend observed after completing plus two is opting either engineering or medicine, even though there are many other interesting branches to study and excel.

Some children will have creative minds such that it makes them able to think differently than others. They will usually go for the architecture field, but if there’s something more than architecture?

The Two fields

For students having a creative mindset, two career options are architecture courses and designing courses. Architecture courses are more commonly known than designing. To get an admission for Bachelor’s program in Architecture (B.Arch) in well known colleges in India, entrance exams like NATA, JEE, KEAM etc must be written.

There are many architecture entrance coaching institutes in Kerala that provides training for those exams.

You must have known that before, but the designing field is less known than architecture because the people are either not aware about it or don’t consider it important like engineering or medicine. This is where they are wrong.

If you are a creative person and is able to implement creative ideas and thoughts, then designing courses are the best choice for you. These courses are both interesting and dynamic.

Similar to the architecture course, four-year bachelor’s program (B.Des) and two-year masters programmes (M.Des) are offered by many reputed colleges for design courses. To get admissions in these top colleges, you need to clear entrance exams like NID DAT, NIFT, etc.

Why Designing

The purpose of designing courses is to intentionally creating design patterns that are different and unique than the existing ones. It can be an object, an idea or anything around us. With a creative mind, a person can design something unique from seemingly nothing.

Better and innovative changes comes from creative minds, therefore the demand for skilled designers are always increasing, thereby increasing job opportunities.

Top colleges to study designing
