Jindal School of Art and Architecture (JSAA)

The Bachelor of Design is a professional degree program for students who wish to work towards improving the inhabited spaces through experimental, experiential, and informed design processes. The program teaches students to imagine, propose, test and refine their ideas about how to live and dwell in the contemporary world and trains students in the knowledge systems that help anticipate changes in the future built environments (from domestic to urban scale). The program uniquely places student-centred inquiry as the core learning, through a sequential studio sequence culminating in a customized capstone design project. These courses are taught by internationally-trained design professors. The professional practice courses include new forms of social and technical knowledge: diversity, sustainability, digital representations and professional ethics. Other features of the program comprise diverse, customizable electives, a flexible system of minors in multiple subjects taught across schools within the university. This is a program for students with ambition, imagination and curiosity who wish to imagine and lead the design of a better world, and wishes to become knowledgeable and influential future design professions.

At present, the B.Des. Program offers following pathways after a common foundation year.

A fundamental aspect of being is incumbent upon inhabiting, itself a continuous and fluid practice. To inhabit means to leave traces – individually or as a collective – through objects, materials, memories and practices, within and without our spaces of living, working and playing, all of which intimately intersect with issues of identity, class, caste, gender, communities, ecologies, social justice, technologies, legalities, and economics, to name a few. How do you, as a future design professional, embed yourself within such a multiplicity of narratives, and craft a new narrative?

The 4 year (Foundation + 3) Interior Design pathway at the Jindal School of Art and Architecture situates itself within this terrain to train and develop you into an industry-ready professional who is critical, and entrepreneurial; who is globally competitive but locally embedded; who is invested in making and able to think on your feet; who exercises empathy and practices judiciously across diverse scales and media. The built-environment, which undergoes constant adaptive re-use, becomes your laboratory.

Though rigorous, this interdisciplinary programme is unique for several reasons. For one, we follow a learner-centric philosophy, and thus, the programme is designed around your interests, allowing you simultaneous lateral and vertical progression. Next, it is the only design programme in the country which has a major and a minor component. The major forms your focus and primary area of study, whereas the minor allows you to strengthen your interests and skills. Lastly, work experience is not only built into the programme, it forms our very bedrock. This is achieved, apart from mandatory internships, by bringing live projects and clients into the studio, thus ensuring seamless integration into your chosen industry upon graduating.

Master classes, workshops and invited talks from a variety of practices further inform the course of study.

The Bachelors of Architecture Program at the Jindal School of Art and Architecture (JSAA) is a five-year program in architecture which prepares you for a career as a licensed architect in India. The unique program at JSAA is divided into two parts; the Major and the Minor. In the Major you learn about material and making, about design thinking. You explore the social, historical, political, economic and technological interfaces of architecture. The major allows you to participate in exchange studios and collaborative works with students from some of the best schools in architecture such as AAP (Cornell), DAAP (University of Cincinnati), Bartlett (University College of London). The program places you in multiple internships at leading firms where you gain work experience, learn from and interact with the best architects in India and the world.

In addition to the Major, the program at the JSAA also allows you to choose one minor area of study. The minor areas of study are carefully designed to provide you with additional skillsets which no other program of architecture in the country provides. As a result, you emerge as an architect with a unique combination of abilities which can be applied across multiple industries and sectors.

We believe that for teaching to be effective it should be aligned to and synonymous with how people learn. Therefore, we nurture the individualistic streak in all students and encourage a culture of ‘learning by doing’, which enables and challenges the students to develop and evolve their own creative process. This is further instilled in the students by following a ‘project based approach’ rather than a purely theoretical one. Our communication design programme does not offer separate specializations and instead we expose our students to all the fields that fall within the domain. This makes our students multidisciplinary thinkers and broadens their horizon. However, the students can position themselves as specialists in a desired field through a careful selection of their projects.

Our programme encourages collaborative learning across disciplines, wherein students work directly with their peers throughout the institution. Group work and active collaboration between staff and students is encouraged. Students learn in a studio environment which forms the fulcrum around which the entire teaching learning philosophy is based.

Design is a problem solving activity and as a practitioner every designer may have to address different and challenging project briefs in the industry. We recreate this industry scenario at our design school and pose similar challenges in the studio-based learning atmosphere where students are better enabled (through mentoring and guidance) to respond to these varied design challenges for the very first time. We make them succeed by helping students devise their own personal design process which through repetitive application becomes intuitively ingrained in their practice.The design process is flexible and can be recalibrated as appropriate. At a advanced level, the students also test their learnings through internships and industry based projects. We also emphasise on innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, design thinking, and user centred design. Therefore our design programme empowers students to become reflexive practitioners.

The communication design faculty comprises of diverse specialists who have made exceptional contributions to the industry and proved their mettle on both national and international platforms. This makes them very aware of the needs and the redundancies of the industry. Our ratio of one faculty for every ten students helps us give detailed and individual attention to each student and thoroughly mentor their development.

A prospective student should have successfully passed the examination conducted by a Board/University at the +2 level of schooling with 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics & also 50 % marks in aggregate (either through formal schooling for 12 years, or through open school system) & 50% NATA score or 50% JEE-2 score.

Fee: Tuition Fee: Rs. 4 Lakhs per annum and Hostel & Dining charges: Rs. 2.4 Lakhs per annum
