How this programme is different

Design Engineering programme is at the intersection of two streams of education, which blends Core Engineering with Creative methods of Design.

  • All design-oriented programmes award a B.Des (Bachelor of Design) degree, which typically focuses on appearance, aesthetics and form.
  • This is the only B.Tech programme dedicated to developing technologically complex new products that integrate technology, functionality, performance & aesthetics, with very unique features
