B.Des

Admission to the School of Design at MIT WPU for the B.Des programme can be considered moderately competitive. The selection is based on the MIT-WPU Design Aptitude Test (MIT DAT), which evaluates your creative and analytical skills. Additionally, your performance in the interview and portfolio assessment (if required) plays a crucial role in the final decision. While the entrance exam is a key factor, the ease of getting admission largely depends on your preparation and portfolio quality. If you perform well in the MIT DAT and have a strong portfolio, you stand a good chance of securing admission. The university also provides scholarships and reservations, which can improve your chances if you meet the eligibility criteria.
