Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Jabalpur

ABOUT USThe Design Discipline at PDPM Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and

Manufacturing, Jabalpur offers a “holistic” design program. The discipline offers a four years

Bachelors in Design (BDes), two years Masters in Design (MDes) and PhD in Design programmes.

The curriculum is a unique blend of design and technology so as to ensure that they are well equipped

when they finally graduate from the Institute. The uniqueness of the curriculum is that, all the

students have to mandatorily learn different areas of design in the initial semesters. In the advanced

semesters, students are given a choice to choose electives mainly in three major domains; product,

space and communication design. The students have the liberty to pursue Bachelors / Master’s thesis

in their domain of interest. Thus, the students graduating from the discipline have a good

understanding of different facets of design, different technologies related to design and at the same

time specialises along one of the major domains namely product, space or communication design,

giving them an advantage of convenient and efficient switches from one domain to another.

The discipline, which started in the year 2008, has produced many good designers who have excelled

in different facets of design as practicing designers, design entrepreneurs and design educators. The

students of our discipline are trained in a manner that facilitate them taking up any challenging role

which demands design intervention. On behalf of the discipline, we wish them all the best with this

hope and trust that they will play a pivotal role in applying their knowledge of design in different

sectors in the country as well as globally. We are confident that the discipline trains them adequately

well to meet the aspirations of design recruiters.
