I completed my B.Des in Interior and Furniture from LPU in 2023. As with any other degree, LPU has certain eligibility criteria for admission into its interior design courses.

First of all, I must inform you that LPU offers two undergraduate degrees in interior and furniture design. These are- B.Sc (Design- Interior and Furniture) and B.Design (Interior and Furniture). 

The eligibility criteria for admission into B.Des (Interior and Furniture) at LPU are-

• The candidate must pass their 10+2 or equivalent with at least 50% aggregate marks (with English as a core subject).
• The candidate must qualify any of the following exams-

LPUNEST or CUET or UCEED or Under Graduate NID DAT (Prelims) or Under Graduate NIFT or NIFT B.FTech.

• The condition for English as a compulsory subject may be waived off, given the candidate has studied their +2 or equivalent in English medium or with an equivalent subject. 
• For the minimum percentage requirement, 5% relaxation is awarded to candidates from North-East states/Sikkim/ Defence personnel and their dependents/ wards of kashmiri migrants.

The eligibility requirements for BSc. Design (Interior and Furniture) are-

• The candidate must clear a Diploma (Interior Design or Architectural Assistantship or Civil Engg.) [(3 years after 10th) Or (2 years or 1 year after 10+2)] or equivalent with min. 50% aggregate marks. 
• 5% relaxation is offered to North-Eastern and Sikkim candidates/ Defence Personnel and their Dependents /Wards of Kashmiri Migrants.

If you clear these eligibility requirements set up by the LPU administration, you can seek admission to interior design courses at LPU with a Commerce (with Maths) background. 

LPU offers two undergraduate programs in interior design. These are-

• B.Sc. (Design - Interior and Furniture)
• B.Design (Interior and Furniture)

As a student of interior design at LPU, I’ve listed below the benefits of pursuing this field from my university-

1. Study Tours- The students get the opportunity to visit architectural sites to understand the technical aspects of architecture and interior design.
2. Workshops- The program offers access to extensive product design workshops where students create finished full-scale prototypes. 
3. Live-Projects-The students work on live projects to enhance their critical thinking and problem solving skills.
4. Modern Software- The department labs and workshops have the latest technology in the form of laser cutters, digital 3D printers, scanners and power tools.
5. Skill Development- The program provides knowledge of professional design practices, processes and intellectual property issues.
6. Studio- The students learn digital proficiency programs to gain expertise in industry related software.

Overall the interior design course at LPU is good. You’ll get plenty of opportunities and facilities at the university.
