- Innovation Drives Design Education
Welcome to the Indian Institute of Art & Design (IIAD), a trailblazer in transforming India's design education landscape since its inception in 2015. From a small group of 90 students, we've grown into a thriving community of over 1,000, thanks to our unwavering commitment to our mission. Over the past decade, we've earned numerous awards and recognitions, solidifying our reputation as a leader in design education, backed by an innovative and groundbreaking teaching method.
Reshaping Design Learning: A Fresh Perspective on Education
The IIAD's unique "learn-by-doing" approach catapulted us to win the 'Excellence in Design Education' award by the Economic Times in 2021, and being recognized as a Leading Design College in 2024. Instead of just learning concepts, students are thrust headfirst into the world of design, acting as creators and problem solvers from day one. The 'Live Projects' program, where students collaborate directly with real clients and manage budgets, helps them develop industry-ready solutions, as demonstrated in projects like the National Museum Project, the Pink Toilet Initiative, and Projection Mapping for the Martyr's Memorial Museum.
Empowering Communication Design: Real-life Engagement and Socially Relevant Impact
Our curriculum is focused on real-world engagement, earning us the title of the 'Best Communication Design College in India' by Asia Today in 2021. Students participate in live client briefs and work alongside industry partners, developing both creative and practical solutions. Projects such as Serendipity Arts Festival 2023 and Touched! promotion of inclusivity for the visually impaired, will leave a lasting impact. Our collaborations with organizations like the Ishara Puppet Theatre Trust, Select City Walk mall, and Katha Publications further emphasize our dedication to designing for social relevance and impact.
Innovation Drives Design Education
Our innovative approach has revolutionized design education in India, earning us awards like 'Design College of the Year' (2020) and 'Best College of the Year' (2022) from Silicon India. Moving away from traditional learning models, our experimental, project-based curriculum encourages students to become creators, solving real-world challenges from the get-go. Over the past decade, the IIAD has consistently redefined the design education landscape, fostering creativity, experimental thinking, and collaboration.
The IIAD's evolution over the past decade reflects our commitment to shaping the design industry's future leaders. Our new campus featuring state-of-the-art design labs, workshops, and innovative studio spaces positions us beautifully to further push the envelope and make our mark in the design world.
