UID Ahmedabad Fees 2026

I am studying Lifestyle Accessory Design, specialising in jewellery design. Initially, our department was separate but it was unfortunately closed down in 2023 and the course was merged with fashion and styling. I don't much about the teaching of other departments, I can confidently say that my department was really good and provided a strong foundation. We have great faculties. At first I thought I should've taken admission at NIFT, as it is well known in the field. However, over time, I realised our curriculum has given me a broader skill set. We have learned a mix of theory and practical work, ranging from hand rendering to mastering various digital software, and even working with diverse materials. I have interacted with some students from NIFT and they haven't had exposure to some of the skills we've gained here. In terms of making us job ready, I believe the course has prepared me well. The projects we worked on were aligned with industry standards. We also had the opportunity to work on internships. I have interned at 2 jewellery companies- Tanishq and A'star Jewellery. While there's always room for improvement, I do think ours was relatively up-to-date and covered a lot of stuff.

My college offers excellent infrastructure and facilities. We have a variety of workshops, including ceramic, stitching, wood, metal, laser cutting, jewellery and 3D printing. These workshops provide hands-on learning opportunities and are maintained well. Our classrooms are spacious and equipped with smart TVs. We have access to 50 GB Wifi per month. The hostels are well maintained with a lot of facilities. The mess offers hygienic food with a menu that changes every month, including 4 meals a day. We also have 3 additional cafeterias. Our campus has a great stationery store which is very convenient. It has everything from basic stationery to various materials such as wood blocks, fabrics, wires, and even everyday items such as toiletries, etc. Our library offers a wide range of books on various subjects. Students can issue those books, except for magazines and research documents written by other students.

Our campus is great, hosting events like exhibitions, musical events, and Ahmedabad Design Week. Various workshops are held regularly. Students, faculties (depending on the department), and support staff are all supportive. The campus is located near a village which feels a little isolated from the main city - Gandhinagar. It's not safe to out alone at night, as the area has some unsavory crowd. But any which ways you are not allowed to go outside after 10:00 pm. The campus is well equipped for emergencies with an ambulance and doctors on-site.

I am not entirely sure about the placement process at my college as I never opted for it during my internships. From what I have heard it isInstead, a lengthy process with a lot of rules and procedures to follow. I directly sent my application to the companies I was interested in, which most of the students here do. As for packages, they vary widely depending on the company. For example, during my internships, Titan Company Ltd. offered me a stipend of 35K per month, while A'star Jewellery offered me 10K per month.

For my batch - 2021-25, the tuition fee is rs.2,25,500 per semester, which I feel is worth it. However, fees increase for every newer batch. Rs.2,50,000 for our direct juniors and they continue to rise. Additionally Rs.5000 for activities and Rs.2000 for exam fees, which makes you think why are you so much tuition fee only to pay extra. This makes it feel quite expensive overall, especially for current batches.

I am persuing b.des in product design, the faculties in pd are great they help us all with everything problem we face. The curriculum is updated every year as the trends in design changes as it is very necessary for a designer to follow all the new trends and tech.

The infrastructure of uid is great it has all the necessary workshops and experts to help you at any time you need. The classes have all the facilities like wifi, smart boards etc. The loving spaces are extremely clean.

Amazing campus life, our campus is filled with greenary and has all the amenities that you might need .

The placement team is really good, the team helps us with every step and connects us with good companies. They also evaluate our portfolios and tell us necessary updates to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

Yes definitely it is value for money as they make you industry ready.

Academics is good and the faculties are helpful. Never feels like attending a class you go to the class have fun and always come back learning something new. Great to work in campus and have the freedom to explore.

Great Infrastructure and great college atmosphere. All necessary equipments and labs are available. No need for students to go outside campus looking for material or equipment. Also fully air conditioned classrooms. Spacious classrooms for great learning and a good co-working space.

Amazing campus life. Had a great time.

Not so good placement opportunities. Faced issues. The placement cell did not support students enough. Always confused placement cell and no good companies were there. Last minute communications and no help provided by placement cell.

Okayish value for money. College focuses on earning more than on student benefit.
