Student Stories

Hear From Our
Interior Design Alumni

I came in after 12th with no idea that Interior Design could be this layered and intellectual. The material labs, the site visits to real construction projects and the furniture fabrication workshops — I was building real things from semester two. My final year thesis got noticed by an architecture firm in Delhi, and I joined them before graduation even ended.

Now: Interior Designer at a Delhi Architecture Firm

The AutoCAD and BIM training at IMS DIA is genuinely professional-grade. By Year 3 I was producing working drawings that matched what I saw at my internship. The hospitality design studio was the highlight — we designed an actual hotel lobby concept with a real brief. I now work with a hospitality design studio in Gurugram and I credit that studio project entirely for getting me hired.

What makes DIA different is the depth. The philosophy of design — sustainability, heritage, human experience — it's woven into everything, not just one module. I studied Indian craft traditions alongside smart home technology in the same year. That combination is exactly why I could start my own studio six months after graduating. Parents wanted engineering. I chose design. Best decision of my life.
