IIT Guwahati - Indian Institute of Technology

Hello,
Indian Institute of Technology at Guwahati was established in 1994 in Guwahati in Assam. This was established so that students of seven sisters get an IIT nearer to their home. The next step was establishment of department of design. Idea was to train students in India itself who will be experts in varied and different aspects of industrial design. Initially, undergraduate courses began and then post graduate as well as research has also begun leading to awards of PhD. Brand IIT is all pervasive. Guwahati being industrial leader of North Eastern states also helps. Students are placed in internships also with different industries in India and abroad also. Placements are the heart and soul of any education institute of repute and IIT G is no exception. All students who register are placed without fail every year.

No doubt, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati is a better institute for Designing. IIT-Guwahati is a premier institutes in technology and innovation in India. IIT is much known for interdisciplinary research in engineering, design, behavioral and social sciences. IIT-G campus life is apt for students, they get ample opportunities to showcase the talents. Placements and Internships are in top companies in IT, FMCG, and Manufacturing. Design Village Institute - non-profit institute registered in the State of Washington affiliated to Shri Venkateswara University. VDI offers only 10 seats for Interior Architecture, Product Design, Fashion Design, and Graphic Design PG Course. VDI also has an international exchange programme. The course has an apt combination of learning, practice and global knowledge. The fee is around 7-8 Lacs for the course. Comparing the two IIT-G has a good ROI and the best place to study for Masters in Designing.

Hi,
B.Des at IITG is very good where every other branch mostly envy the design branch particularly. The reason is their schedule, curriculum, decent packages which is very different from other regular branches.
I dont exactly know the details but heard from other Design mates that their average salary is around 15lakhs! (Cases like people with no placements, very high packages and people opting for higher studies will be present).
Placements: The placements at DoD are on par with the best of departments and institutes. The department has an institute wide best figures of 95+% of placed students, with only 3 of them still searching for opportunities. Last year, the department had a record 100 % record in placements. The slight decline this year can be attributed to the increase in batch strength, which almost doubled compared to last year. The average salary package of the Bachelors currently stands at 9.7 LPA.
EDIT: UPDATE: The current average salary package for the B.Des students has soared to around 15 LPA. This is for the 2011-2014 batch. I will update the exact figures shortly.
Some of the organisations that have recruited from the Department of Design in the recent past include:
Samsung Research Institute, India,
Microsoft India Development Center
Oracle
Flipkart
Samsung (SISO)
Housing.com
Clarice Technologies
Cognizant Technology Solutions
Accenture
