Student Voices

Hear From Our
Creative Alumni

I came in after 12th with a love for photography and zero idea what to do with it professionally. The filmmaking domain at IMS DIA gave me actual skills — cinematography, editing, direction. By Year 3 I was already shooting commercial projects. I now work with an ad production house in Mumbai.

Kartik Bhatnagar

B.Des Communication Design · Batch 2023

Now: Video Director at Mumbai Production House

The UX/UI module genuinely changed my career trajectory. I came in wanting to be a graphic designer — now I'm a product designer at a fintech startup in Bangalore. The Figma skills, the user research frameworks and the live briefs we did with real companies made me industry-ready well before graduation.

Now: Product Designer at a Fintech Startup

What IMS DIA does differently is it doesn't silo you. I studied branding, I shot films, I built websites, I wrote content strategies. That versatility is exactly what agencies want — and it's why I got placed before I'd even submitted my final project. If you're serious about a creative career, this is the degree.
