Interior design deals with the development and enhancement of the interiors, sometimes even the exterior, of a space or a building. In recent years, the popularity of interior design as a career has grown due to the abundance of creative opportunities and job security. Creativity, innovation and technical dexterity are the basic requirements of a budding interior designer. If you look up on the internet, you will find a number of options for interior designing courses that are available to students with the traditional 10 + 2 education. The choice of the course, however, depends on each student, in terms of the time and resources to be invested and the relevance to the job market. So, here we summarise the career paths in interior designing, available to students who have passed the HSC exam, especially in and around Pune.
These are the most elementary courses, designed to introduce you to the field of Interior Design, up to six months in duration. There are certain institutions providing certificate courses of upto 3 years. These courses cover the main topics related to interior designing, such as commercial and residential design, computer tools to aid in design, drawing techniques and financial, legal as well as ethical considerations.
If you are looking for a short-term course to gain basic knowledge of the subject, then a diploma in interior design is the option for you.
