Students at BITS Pilani, Mumbai Campus
Welcome to a four-year-long adventure building the creative you.
Enrolling in the B Des (Hons) programme is more than an educational journey. It is a four-year adventure where you will take on the responsibility of living independently - likely for the first time, and building your future as a creator, an innovator, and as a person.
The campus is where you develop character, work on your mindset, identify opportunities to evolve as a creator, and pick up on competencies and skills that will stay with you for life. Our new campus is designed to foster a sense of community where you will cherish shared experiences with fellow design aspirants, as well as law and management students. From campus
events that bring everyone together to building lifelong friendships, you’re in for a flourishing social life.
Students will start their journey at our interim campus and move to the permanent campus in 2025.
