Is B.Des the same as B.Tech design branches?

No. B.Des is a dedicated design degree tracked under this discipline. B.Tech branches with “design” in the name stay under Engineering unless the institute runs a confirmed B.Des catalogue entry.

Do you show NIFT or UCEED cutoffs here?

Not on this page. We list institutes and link to official sources; national design entrance cutoffs are added only when already in our verified pipeline.

Why are some well-known design schools missing?

We add an institute only after confirming its design programme from a primary source. A missing school usually means we have not verified its catalogue yet, not that it was excluded.

Overview

Design on Knwdle covers B.Des, industrial design, animation, and related studio programmes confirmed from institute catalogues — kept separate from engineering branches that happen to mention “design” in a course title.

NIRF publishes design-oriented institutes under broader categories; any rank shown here is the parent institute’s Engineering-category score where we store it, not a B.Des-specific ranking. Open a profile for the full programme list and official links.
