A 4-year undergraduate design degree in user experience, interface design, and human-computer interaction for India's booming digital product industry.
The Bachelor of Design in UX/UI Design is a 4-year undergraduate programme focused on designing digital products and experiences. It covers user research, interaction design, interface design, prototyping, and usability testing. With India's technology and startup ecosystem growing rapidly, UX/UI designers are among the most in-demand creative professionals in the country.
Students who are fascinated by how apps, websites, and digital products work — and who want to make them more intuitive and beautiful — will excel in this programme. It suits candidates with empathy for users, logical thinking, and visual creativity. Prior programming knowledge is not required, though it is helpful. Students from any Class 12 stream are eligible.
Core subjects include design thinking, user research methods, information architecture, interaction design, wireframing and prototyping (Figma, Adobe XD), visual interface design, usability testing, motion design for UI, accessibility and inclusive design, front-end basics (HTML/CSS), and portfolio development for digital products.
Admission is through NID DAT, UCEED, or institutional aptitude tests. Candidates must have passed Class 12 with minimum 45% marks in any stream. A creative portfolio and aptitude test are typically part of the final selection process at premier institutes.
Q. Do I need to know programming to study UX/UI Design? No. UX/UI Design is primarily about research, ideation, and visual design. However, basic knowledge of HTML and CSS helps designers communicate better with developers. Most BDes programmes include introductory front-end coding as an elective or module.
Q. What is the average salary for a UX designer in India? Entry-level UX designers earn ₹4-8 LPA at product companies and startups. Senior UX designers and design leads at top tech firms can earn ₹15-35 LPA. Salaries vary significantly based on company size and location (Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR typically offer higher packages).
Q. Which companies in India hire UX/UI designers? Major recruiters include Flipkart, Swiggy, Zomato, BYJU'S, PhonePe, Razorpay, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, and international companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon with India offices. Design agencies and startups also hire significant numbers of UX graduates.
Q. Is this course different from a Graphic Design degree? Yes. UX/UI Design focuses on digital products, user behaviour, and interaction flows. Graphic Design focuses on visual aesthetics across print and digital media. UX/UI involves user research, wireframing, and prototyping — skills not typically emphasised in Graphic Design programmes.
