Students and aspirants from all over India take the UCEED Entrance Exams with high hopes of pursuing a career in design. Every year, national level entrance exams are held to shortlist the best design candidates and provide them with the opportunity to pursue their dream career. The demand for designers in various fields has increased dramatically over the last decade.
According to statistics, the demand for designers in India far outnumbers the supply. Every year, 1.5 million engineers graduate, but the actual demand for engineers is much lower. On the contrary, only 15000 qualified designers are seen in India each year, despite a much higher demand. It is not surprising that an NID student received a 72 lakh pay offer during the placement drive in 2015. During the same placement drive, 8 students were offered packages totaling 48 lakhs.
The statistics show that the demand for designers is increasing. There are numerous career paths available to technological designers. Any of the following organisations may hire a good designer:
Personal Product Companies such as Bombay Dyeing, Titan, and Adidas Tech-driven and IT Companies such as Infosys, Facebook, and Ola Advertising Agencies such as JWT India, Ogilvy, and Lowe Lintas Automotive Companies such as Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata, and Maruti
The first hurdle that every designer must overcome is the UCEED Entrance Exams, which are held annually in 24 nationwide locations. The entrance exams are intended to assess candidates' design aptitude. The competition is fierce, and without proper guidance and training, a candidate will struggle to pass such exams. SILICA aspires to assist such candidates in achieving their career goals. The UCEED & CEED coaching at SILICA is designed to meet the practical needs of students who have true design potential.
